A Hint of Spring

Ahhhh, my favorite season at Trader Joe's!!!


For those of you that don't know Trader Joe's, it is a favorite small market here in California. It is full of healthy foods, organic foods, and FLOWERS!!! Every year at this time, the daffodils arrive for $1.29 a bunch. I love it!!





Those cute bundles of unopened daffodils bring a big smile to my face each year and I buy them through March. They are my most favorite of flowers, as it is the flower for March and yes, my birthday is in March. I won't tell you when, 'cause I am thinking of joining the "give-away" gang and giving something away for my birthday. If I can pull it together. NO PROMISES!!!!!!!!!




Until then, I will just keep my sweet daffodils in the house!

The other Hint of Spring is the sight of my Calla lilies  coming up!!!




I wish I had these all over, but there are just a couple of shady spots where the plants don't get torched by the sun out here.




I only get a few blooms, but they are my all time favorite to photograph while opening...it's sad that they are so short lived!!




I'm hoping you are seeing hints of spring wherever you may be!!

  4. Well, yes, actually.

    We did have a little hint of spring today.

    It was around 50 degrees here!!!

    Hurray!

    But that will be short-lived as we usually get tons of snow in March and April....

    Nice while it lasted though!

    So I will be depending on you, Lynn, to keep me supplied with photos of beautiful blooming things for a little while longer..........

  5. I wish there was a Trader Joe's here in Greece. When I was in Chicago my cousin took me shopping and when I walked in there I had to think very seriously of my return trip and the overweight! I just loved it! By the way...my birthday is in April (Aries). Your pics are beautiful (it makes me think that I have to get a new camera asap).

  9. See...yet another reason why we are here *fingers to eyes*...lol...I'm a March baby myself. Hmmm, I might just have to do a give away too! :D

    And yes, love the daffodils and flowers! So pretty. I have not seen signs of Spring yet (we've been colder than usual) and I miss it. Don't you know that those are happy little bees? :D
