Our daffodils are in bloom, so I picked a few and brought them in to liven the place up. Here you see them against a backdrop of Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s Hunters In The Snow, aka The Family Picture, so called because just about everybody in our family has a print of it.
Happy spring!
I’m posting at Fatal Foodies today about the book I’m reading, THE PERSIAN PICKLE CLUB by Sandra Dallas. Drop in and find out what a Persian pickle is!

Your flowers look super.
My daffies have come in, but I don’t recognize them from any years past. They are deep yellow with short orange trumpets. I can’t recall their growing here before. A strange spring, indeed.

April 5, 2013 at 9:00amHere, too. By this time last year, the crocuses and daffodils were gone. I’m kinda lovin’ the long lead-in. 🙂 I wouldn’t, if we had snow, though. I am SO through with snow for the year!

April 10, 2013 at 9:35amIt’s kind of you to say so, Veronica. If you can teach anybody how to use that damn ribbon, I’m YOUR fan!
