Daffodils In Bloom

The earliest of the daffodils have been in bloom for about a week. This is one of the later early blooms; I’ll have another wave of bright yellow elsewhere in my garden in a few days.

I laid down this landscape fabric last year, and transplanted the daffodils in the green, prior to blooming. I’m pleased that several of them bloomed this year! I’m sure I’ll see even more color next spring, after more of them are settled in.

It can be a little strange to realize that I’m starting to see the long view when it comes to gardening. Next fall, next spring, expanding and transplanting and letting some borders grass over on purpose.

I kept telling people that life was starting to feel like the opening chapters of a sci-fi novel. Schools closed, businesses closed, and “social distancing” becoming the new catch phrase. Shortages of toilet paper and hand sanitizer due to hoarding and panic.

This isn’t fiction. It’s reality. This was our local supermarket on March 15.

The days have gone by faster than I expected, and time has gotten away from me before I could properly blog/journal everything that’s going on. Luckily, i’ve been micro-journaling in the Exist app every night before bed, so I have a sort of timeline of the major takeaways of each day.
