The brave little daffodils

One of the first signs that spring is on its way in, is the appearance of the daffodils. There are a few patches of daffodils along the trail and we always watch eagerly for them to emerge from their winter dormancy. And in their perennial fashion, they always do.  This year was no different despite the persistent winter.  The brave little daffodils made their appearance in early March emerging from the earth in bunches as if huddling together to protect themselves from the elements.  And although they endured a snowfall or two, or three ... they finally opened their pretty yellow blooms in mid-March celebrating the start of a long awaited spring.
