I'm browsing through xanga this morning and looking at pictures of daffodils on Christy's site and thinking, "What? How can they have daffodils this early?" I remember it hit me last year about this time, too. We're still buried under FEET of snow in Ontario, and at home they have ... daffodils. Sigh.
When Gabriel and I came home from Buffalo (where he had to go to write the MCAT) on Saturday night, I stepped out of the car into snow drifts that came above my knees. And they have daffodils at home.
Someone measured our snowfall so far this year, and it came to FIVE FEET of snow, and winter is far from over. And they have daffodils in SC.
HOWEVER, lest I get too gloomy, I have to say that I've really been enjoying this winter so far. Despite fighting the bad roads, cold, and snow all the time, there's something satisfying about having REAL winter with real weather, instead of the gray, rainy, chilly, damp winters I grew up with. There is absolutely no outside work except occasionally shoveling the walks, so it gives me a chance to hole up inside with a cup of tea and work on some scrapbooking and sewing projects that got pushed off this summer.
So...I'll try to enjoy my winter and look forward to that long-distant day when we see daffodils popping up in the fields. Meanwhile, enjoy your spring, southerners. :)

"Brethren, comfort yourselves with these words..." There might be a few brave daffodils here, but it's 22 degrees. :) We still have winter!
Daffodils??? In my dreams!!!! I'm so tired of being cold and so ready for some 40 degree weather.
Thanks, I will!
Although it's not exactly toasty here. We're not laying out yet or anything! It is about time to plant peas, though, hmmmmm.....
