I was thinkin' about you the other day when I got a big ol' whiff and was gonna ask if you had one. I brought a few stems in about a week ago and they'll about knock ya over when they're fresh cut. <br /><br />I thought of you today too, when I got home picking The Kid up from school. I walked up the driveway and peeked into the front yard and noticed a poor little daffodil with a bud, coming out from under a pot. I'm not a fall cleaner, so the yard is buried in leaves. I ended up grabbing the rake from the shed thinking, oh I'll just get the path to the door cleaned up. You know how that goes. I uncovered all the awakening front yard beds and discovered all the buried bulbs that are starting to show their heads. So exciting! <br /><br />Baby probably wondered what in the world mama was doin' playin' in the dirt the day before giving birth, but it felt really good to get my hands dirty after being stagnant all winter!<br /><br />Looking forward to all those spring posts!!!Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247379600555185331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-89819402903950530272012-01-31T21:26:12.929-08:002012-01-31T21:26:12.929-08:00Just yesterday I buried my nose in blooming Sarcoc...Just yesterday I buried my nose in blooming Sarcococca, heavenly!
