This Bud's for You...

Spring has arrived in Litchfield.  It took some time getting here but it has finally arrived.  I opened the backdoor and there they were in my Buddha garden right off the kitchen – bright yellow and looking as cheerful as a kid with a brand new box of crayons. 

By the way - that's a two-headed daffodil.  I've never seen two daffodil heads on the same stalk before.  Do you think they are as lucky as four leaf clovers?       

Even at the nature preserve the first buds were up.  I know Laura and her dad, Drew are going to know what this is—and if you would be so kind as to leave it in the comments everyone else will, too!  I only know that it’s the first signs of spring that I see every year in White’s Woods. 

And lest you think that the rest of my two-mile walk around the loop of Little Pond was without beauty check out this sky!  It was a warm breeze and the air smelled so good! 

It was wonderful to breathe in Spring.

And, since they take so long to get here and seem shorter every year--I'm going to take time to enjoy this one!

"Spring is nature's way of saying, Let's party!"  ~Robin Williams

Or for the more erudite...

"One impluse from a vernal wood may teach you more of man of moral evil and of good than all the sages can." ~W. Wordsworth

Are the plants sprouting out of wet-ish ground? They are probably "skunk cabbage," (Symplocarpus foetidus). They come up early in spring and like wet boggy ground. If you break a leaf and take a snif you will know why it has that name!
