Sunlit Sunday... The First


Can Spring be far away? 
The very first daffodil!
This is the only bloom in the garden right now, 
but there are lots  more to come. 
Anxiously awaiting!


If you'd like a bit more "Buttercup Love"  
check out this February 2013 post.

Please visit My Little Home and Garden 
and the other participants for 
Sunlit Sunday. 
Thanks to Karen for hosting. 
Hope you enjoy your visits to lots of sunlit places!

Thanks for stopping by. 
I am a bit early to the party this week. 
On Sunday off to visit the son and daughter-in-love.
I appreciate your visits and comments!
Have a wonderful week filled with 
good people, 
sweet moments, 
lots of smiles,
and much love!

    Hi Susan,

    Your one and only yellow daffodil is definitely enough to let us know that spring is, indeed on the way!

    Have a lovely week ahead!

    Your one and only daffodil has brought a smile to my face today. I can hardly wait for the snow to clear in a couple of months and see mine emerging from the soil.

    Judith, who commented above, and I live in the same province so I can appreciate her remark about "a couple of months". Meanwhile, it will be fun seeing your garden emerge from its winter slumber.

    Yellow always strikes me as a happy colour and the daffodil is beautiful. One solitary bloom can be truly appreciated, Susan.

    Enjoy your Sunday with family.

    Karen

    I am sooo jealous! I remember your Oct 2013 post. That was the first time I visited your blog (and have been stalking you ever since!!! ). Have a nice visit with your son and daughter in love (what a nice way to express your affection for your son's wife). Christa

    I laughed at your title, The First. My daffodils have come and gone and yesterday I found one last little daffodil hiding in a planter.

    Oh so pretty! I'll come here and get my springtime fix - we're in the middle of a snowstorm right now. We won't be seeing daffodils for a couple of months!

    Daffodils are so welcome in the spring. There are a few blooming about town, but none in my own garden yet. So lovely to see yours.

    We had such a cold snap last week that it will be a while before we see daffodils. Yours is like a bit of sunshine!

      Haricot...we need a beautiful tanka from you to go with the lonely daffodil! If you didn't see my Valentine post, look when you have time. I think you might like the bird photos. Thanks for your visit.

    There is something so special about the first daffodil.

    We had summer from June through November and went right to spring with no winter. My daffodils have come and gone and new flowers are blooming each day. I don't know what to expect in March when spring really arrives.

      Carol...last year we went from Winter to Summer with little Spring; however, I will not complain if that is the case this year. Winter has been a fickle time this year! Enjoy what ever March brings!

    Hello Susan,

    There is nothing which cheers the heart so much as the first sight of a daffodil after winter. So lovely to capture the moment since it does make one believe that all is well with the world.

    Thank you for the kind comment on our post. It is good to be back.

    Wishing you a happy weekend!

    When I see daffodils here in Canada it is definitely spring! So I'm thinking spring has already arrived in your world. ;))

      Just a teaser...rain today and cold temperatures tonight and tomorrow. Fortunately, the daffodils don't mind a bit of chilly weather!
