40,000 Daffodils

I read an article online the other day about a 96 year old man in Redding, CT who over the years has planted 40,000  daffodils in his back yard. Last year he planted 1447 until he got rained out.  I had to meet this guy! I drove out there around lunch time last saturday and when I pulled up I noticed a small sign on the property that said "Welcome Drive In", so I did. Unfortunately the flower man was not around, but his beautiful work was everywhere!

Here Comes The Sun (Finally)

Early Spring Trees

I love spring trees.  Every year they are the first burst of color to remind us that winter is over and bright sunny days are on the way. This year is no exception except for the fact that the trees have blossomed a month early. I didn't even get to take a pic of the grand magnolia trees around town because they came so early and left in a hurry. Here is a sample of what I did get. I'm still waiting for the cherry blossoms in front of the YMCA. I love how they brighten up the entrance to Main Street.

The best trees in Old Hill. They are gorgeous in every season.
