For those of you who have asked (followed about) my sojourn west and my gardening adventures, I just want you all to know that I was able to plant daffodil bulbs in November of 1997 (I didn't get them earlier). They started poking up out of the ground in December (!) and yesterday (March 11) the first 6 bloomed; today about 20 are nodding their lovely yellow heads in the light breeze, a lovely counterpoint to ALL the mountains that are out today--with lots of snow on them, too. Peonies branches are starting to emerge from the ground as well, and I look forward to them blooming this season. Will the tulip clusters be far behind? :-) PS My apologies to those still in the snow belt. (Am I ever glad I no longer have to deal with that) mailto:[log in to unmask] "We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations." Kathleen G.
