First Daffodil of Season

First Daffodil of The Season

Today, March 19, 2023, I just returned from a walk. It’s been in the high 30’s F with winds gusting to a little over 10 mph. The sun makes it look warm, but you better be bundled up if you head outside.

While walking, I noticed several Daffodils groupings and anticipated they would be in bloom in another week or two. The Daffodils closest to bloom grew in front of or along stone walls.

When a little over halfway through my walk, what did I see? A daffodil flower smiling at me on a blustery New England day.

The daffodil asked me if I would share its smile with you!

I am in USDA Hardiness Zone 6, right between 6a and 6b.

      It didn’t feel like much of a wait this year in CT. However, I look forward to some warmer days with less wind.

      We’re going to make it to 60 in the next few days.
      Winter may be over in New England.

        Looks like North Dakota grew mountains this winter and they are all white! My tools are all clean and sharp waiting for Spring.
