Today's been a good day so far. It's also been my first Saturday home in something like five weeks. I'm out tomorrow and next weekend, too -- so I'm really soaking in it.
Stayed up late last night doing early sketches for the Seekrit Projekt, and slept in till a decadent 10am. Cleaned a bit, and did laundry, then went out into the soft midday to move hostas and plant daffodil bulbs.
I absolutely adore daffodils. They're such a welcome sight in the spring, and sometimes when it's still the dark of March and you're half-suicidal with cabin fever, you look out the window and you see the first pricks of the daffodils through the grey mud and it gives you the courage to keep going. I planted Las Vegas, Mount Hood, Fortissimo, Breck's Colossal, Gentle Giant,Tete-a-tete (which did *way* better than I thought they would last year) and these adorable little baby daffs, which should come up with the crocuses I planted last year.
I was gonna go out and buy a whole bunch of tulips again, but then I figured I'd wait to see if last year's come up again. No sense in spending money on what amounts to annual flowers -- and daffs have a much better chance of coming back year after year.
Yay, daffs. Can't wait to see 'em next spring.
