After some walking and some shopping, we ended up at Tims Drive Through for what amounts to our semi-monthly treat of coffee and turkey-bacon-club sandwiches. As is our custom, we then drove to the park, or at least to the parking lot by the boat launch that is by the park, to enjoy our comestibles.
To our delight was saw that the first flush or blush of green was upon us.
I made the supreme sacrifice of exiting the car to get a phone pic of that tree. You know the one.
I swung around the right to shoot the trees on the edge of the park. While most of those trees, like those off to the right in the photo ↓ are biding their time, the trees in the foreground are eager to get on with it.
When we pulled back into our own driveway, we noticed that our two daffodils were fully open. It was windy, so neither of us have taken a picture yet, but they are a bit of a puzzle because the bulbs that we planted many years ago didn't survive, and we have not had daffs ever since then. Somehow or other, however, we now have two of them. They look a little lost since they are not close together, but I like their sunny look and that they just popped up as if out of nowhere to do what they do
The sacrifices we must make. In your case, I'm referring to the turkey-bacon-club sandwich just so you can check to see if spring is arriving.
ReplyDeleteI do it for my community. 🙃
DeleteIt definitely looks like spring has sprung in your neck of the woods. Finally.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see these photos.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that early green the best color? Like a green mist! Daffodils are so cheery, even solo! And resilient, too!
ReplyDeleteI'd blame the snow. WHile winter lingered, somehow it transferred your bulbs to a new place! Love that first shot!
ReplyDeleteWe looked like that at the beginning of the week. In that time everything is leafing out. That sandwich sound very tempting to me.
ReplyDeleteOh, the setting with the tree is a perfect spot to enjoy your comestibles. *A new word for me, I love learning of it!
ReplyDeleteThe many maples around my yard have a red blush. It creates a brilliant glow when the sun is on them. The old timers say the black flies will come out when the poplar leaves are the size of mouse ears. Get ready!
ReplyDeleteMosquitos out as of yesterday. No black flies yet. Yet.
DeleteIt is so good to see the tress budding out.
ReplyDeleteIt was a marvellous day - our sacrifice was at Subway. Our red maples are all budded out and my daffs are up and out. Even the oak tree is showing life. I love that tree you tag and am about to go and enlarge the viewer as I think I see a big broken branch in it. We have broken stuff all over the place; I think we had a minor blowdown. Big pine down at the edge of the field, small pine on the other side, branches everywhere.
ReplyDeleteComestibles! Great word. Good photos too. That's such a lovely shade of green. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love that faint cloud of green before it all bursts out in leaf.
ReplyDeleteThat sky is SO blue and the trees are definitely greening! Bulbs are a mystery. Sometimes they come up and other times they don't. I had a mystery daffodil in the back but I didn't see it this year.
ReplyDeleteSandwich sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a positive, Feel good spring post. Thank you AC aloha
ReplyDeleteSo some birds must have planted the daffodils for you.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love this time of year when things start budding out? Unfortunately, I think of ticks when I see these buds as well. Do you have them in your area?
ReplyDeleteYou’ve several weeks ahead of us. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThe Birch outside my window is showing the same flush of green.
ReplyDeleteThat 'flush of green' is sure spreading now.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to get out of the house!
ReplyDeleteand the car!
DeleteThat's a great tree!
ReplyDeleteI love daffodils. In Japan, they called them narcissus.
