The daffodil flower buds were swelling. One was blooming already, and the snow and ice were coming. It was time to cut some stems and bring them inside. In the house, they opened up in a day. A subtle fragrance signals springtime. There was just a little bit of snow. My friend told me that daffodils come with their own anti-freeze so I don't need to worry about them. There is a thick liquid inside the hollow stems, I wonder if this is the protective substance?

Signs of spring in yard
Today: two yellow crocuses are blooming. Young cardinals, both male and female, chasing each other through the linden tree and big yews. Snow drops here and there. Tulip foliage an inch high. Daffodil buds swelling.
Tomorrow it is supposed to go below freezing again!
