daffs are dandy

It seems as though daffodils came early this year but I can't say for sure because I've never really paid attention until now.  I think one of the best places to go to see the daffodils in Seattle is Greenlake.  They, along with the hostas when they return, grow in these bunches or mounds that look almost fake.  I steal fleeting glimpses of them as I drive past the Starbuck's on my way to I-5.  Every time I pass, I think to myself that I'll come back to the park with my camera.  They are that amazing.  We have a few daffs in our garden but I was fortunate enough come home with a bouquet from the farm this past weekend.  Working with them in a hand bouquet is dreamy because their heads are floppy and you can angle them in any direction.  Small bouquet that would be perfect for a bridesmaid or jr. bridesmaid.  Tied with a tiffany blue grosgrain ribbon and fashioned with two yellow polka dot pins.  Dandy. 

Oh...and can you tell my House Beautiful came today?  I can't wait to dive into that baby.
