    I spotted this "burst" of white color when I arrived home this evening.

    Wonder if it'll survive this next round of freezing temps?

    Well January 27, I guess it's time. The new season has started. :) You have brightened the day Cheryl.

    Nice! Will be a while before I see that kind of color. Mine have barely broken out of the soil.

    My King Alfred (Dutch Master) daffs are a few weeks from blooming.

    Hello Countess--that is delightful to see. Fingers crossed for its survival. I have good hopes for it.

    It sure was a pick-me-up to see any color but brown out there! I can't see it from the house, but I do need to venture outside at some point today, so I'll have to check and see how it's handling the freezing rain/temps.

    I ventured out of the house a bit ago to go feed my aunt's cats, visit my BFF for her bday, feed the birds AND take a photo of that daffodil.
    Here's what it looked like 24 hours ago.

    Was that just one overnight freeze, or has it been sustained? I hope that it bounces back.
