One Perk Of Living Here

 Another round of cold temperatures will be striking again tonight, so for dinner we picked the lettuce that is growing in the bowl on the deck and then moved the bowl into the covered porch.
 This afternoon we spent time in the warmth of the sunshine on the front porch.  It was 75 degrees and to be honest.... we got hot!  The pups lolled around in the green grass of the front yard,
 and the daffodils were in full bloom.
 Well, who can resist cutting a few and bringing some of that yellow sunshine indoors for heaven sakes.
 Although the ones left outside will do fine in the cold temperatures tonight, or I would have cut more, 
they will however look a wee bit limp tomorrow.  Such hardy blooms they are!
 When we lived in the city in the southwestern U.S., I didn't have flowers that I could bring indoors to enjoy... we had three rose bushes, but they always struggled to look healthy.
One of the perks of living in Virginia.....
flowers for the soul in springtime.
