My Daffodils are a bit late this year. I have had blooms as early as January 29 (2013)
and January 31 (2012). Last year (2015) the first bloom was on February 9.
It is still Winter here, but Spring is coming!
If you are wondering about Daffodil blooms in 2014, I was diagnosed with Leukemia in February, and lost half a year to hospital stays, chemo treatments, and recovery in a rehabilitation facility. I am very thankful to be able to report that my most recent blood
counts are very near normal for the first time in two years.
Praise the Lord! His mercies are new every morning!
Have a wonderful week!

ReplyDeleteSo pretty in yellow. Our Carolina Jasmine vine is blooming yellow blooms as well.
ReplyDeletea sign that spring is near! congrats on good blood count reports, i am so happy for you!
ReplyDeletethanks for the spring preview
ReplyDeleteBeautiful daffodil ! It's going to be the season soon !
ReplyDeleteYour daffodil is lovely, Lea, and it's great to hear about your healing, words from my mother's favorite hymn.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I'm really getting anxious for spring with all the flowers you southerners are sharing. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear about your health! As for the daffodils, it's just not fair.
ReplyDeleteI'm envious of your bloom. Won't happen here for a month or more.
ReplyDeleteSo very lovely!
ReplyDeleteIn school we had to learn the poem 'Daffodils', without ever seeing them in real life! They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHello, congrats on your great healthy report. Love the daffies! Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful daffodil, none in site in my area yet. Wonderful news for you on your tests. I recently lost a close friend to Leukemia. She was hoping for a stem cell transplant but developed an infection and was just too sick. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that you had been diagnosed with Leukemia....I am glad you got the good report. I love the daffodil...I think it will be a little while before ours are blooming. but maybe I should check them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit and comment/ You are the first person that 'speaks' on this new sky and field blog I started. The fields behind our house are rather decorative, so I will document them throughout the year.
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to see the daffs out early.Congrats with the good news. I'm awaiting mine: fingers crossed.
Beautiful daffodil! That is such good news about your tests. So happy for you!
ReplyDeleteOh Spring come our way too! Love the daffodil, it let's us know there's hope for tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy for the good health news! Hooray!!!!! And even without that great reason for celebrating, daffodils always make me so happy. Even pictures of them (and that is good, because they don't grow here in Florida, sadly. Too hot I guess). And of course by the time we get back across the country they are all done blooming. My daughter keeps me posted on what's happening in Oregon and this time of year I really really really miss it!
ReplyDeleteA very pretty little daffodil. So beautiful, shining among the greens.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful daffodil...so bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteHi Lea,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed scrolling down, seeing your great photos! I hope to start posting again soon.
The shoots for crocus are starting to come up already -- won't be long before we see tulips and daffodils as well. :)
