Being a collection of early spring photos, primarily of flowers and mainly daffodils

Ahhh. I Love long titles. 
Well today is simply a a gorgeous day.  It started out gray and rainy just like the past several days have been, and then, half way through, something amazing happened: 

The sun BLOOMED out of the clouds. I threw open a window and let a warm breeze in, I dressed up in pretty clothes and danced around. I went down to our spring where we get water and admired bright blooming sprays of festive forsythia and dancing daffodils and perky poppies and darling dandelions all turning their heads to the sun. All flowers are sunflowers, secretly. 

Well, these are photos of early spring, as my title indicates, though they are as recent as a couple days ago. If I were to go out and walk around some with my camera, I'm sure I'd find many more flowers now blooming than just the ones pictured. I know for a fact that there are lots of trees now bursting forth in flower and that the forsythia are even more crazy today than the pictures I have of it. I'll go out and take more photos today and tomorrow and post those later. For now, enjoy these!

Short update...

Hurrah for my first photo on this blog. I couldn't help myself, I picked some forsythia. They looked great with my springly-floral skirt.

Spring is too beautiful. I don't know what else to say.
Today the day was stormy and sunny by turns. As though the weather just could not make up its mind. The past few days were quite warm and sunny and I thoroughly enjoyed them. I've been taking walks in the woods and attempting some foraging. But mostly, I just sit on the picnic bench outside our apartment building and read in the sweet sunshine. Every time we get one of these warm spells, the returning cold feels colder and colder. Though if it had been 50 degrees a month and a half ago, it would have been considered quite warm. Strange how our bodies adapt to temperatures. It's all relative really.
Now I must apologize for my lack of bloggi-ness lately. I felt intimidated by my last post. I kept thinking "I'll just wait until I have some magical spring-time recipe to post and then I'll write." Well, I have some. I've been working hard on that list of problems. I've been writing stuff down (almost) faithfully, my pictures are improving and once I almost followed a recipe without changing it. Maybe one day I'll have a chance to write all about it, but I made Dandelion icecream. And it was fantastic. I loved it. My own recipe too! I'm so proud.
But remember? This was going to be a "short" update. It's very nearly 1:30 in the morning here, so I had better be going to bed.
