Quote of the Day:
Jenny [after bugging Matt for half an hour]: Can I ask you just one more question?
Matt: Well, ok.
Jenny: How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?
Matt: [Sigh] Mom, I'm sorry for asking you why 118 times.*

*I kept track one day when he was three.

  2. beautiful pictures! I love daffodils. They are so cheerful.

    Here in Georgia all the trees are blooming. The bradford pears are all green now and the cherry trees and redbuds are blooming. I'm glad Easter is late this year, so everything will be really blooming. Of course, none of us can breathe from all the pollen, but it is still beautiful.

    We still have piles of dirty snow and slush where it has melted and NOTHING green in sight.

  5. Are those daffodils on your property? I would love to have a place where I could just throw the bulbs around, plant them where they land and enjoy them next spring.

    And my heart goes out to you with all you wrote.

    Amos and Verna are here right now.

  6. Daffodils are the "cheerfullest" of flowers aren't they? They say "Lo, the winter is past and gone, the cooing of doves is heard in the land!" Or something like that! =)

  7. Ilva--the field of daffodils is across the fence on a neighbor's property. We have lots on our side of the fence as well.
