Pretending it's Spring

All week it's been frigid. The temperatures has dipped down to the teens, and it's brutal. I went across town to my favorite store, Trader Joe's. Oh, how I love this place.

I ended up bringing home with me two bunches of daffodils. I couldn't resist the price, each bunch of 10 stems were $1.49. I have to wonder how these farms make any profit with prices so low, but I suppose they do when a chain like Trader Joe's is buying large quantities for resale.

One day later, it looks like spring in my living room. One by one the daffodils are bursting open. Such a needed spot of "sunshine" and bright happy color. Makes me think and dream of spring. Soon. Very soon.
