The daffodils have bolted in my front yard.
The sudden rise in temperatures from below freezing to low 80s and back into the 50s has confused them, as well as the rest of us. They are not alone. A few doors down, purple crocus are fully open on a neighbor's lawn.
My irises and daylilies are starting to shoot up their greens once more. The irises are trying to recover their withered and dried appendages while sending up new leaves.
The bluebells will be next, followed closely by the tulips and the iris blossoms in succession. The daylilies and purple cone flowers will erupt with the peonies, which I hope have not only survived, but expanded their reach to the left of my front steps.
If the rain and sun have anything to do with it, my garden will take care of itself.
Bring it on, spring. Bring. It. On.
