Daffodils cheer me. When I was growing up, no matter where we lived, those cheerful bright yellow faces and bonnets were a sure sign spring was on its way.
Last fall I ordered some bulbs through my son's school. They were "mixed daffodils." My dear friend who is really good at gardening (she spends 15 minutes twice a day spraying all her garden with stinky anti-deer spray) helped me plant them. She told me they were a good choice because deer don't eat them.
HOWEVER, she warned that squirrels would dig up the bulbs if I didn't keep the area covered with dried chili peppers. I was so faithful last fall and it has paid off! Here are some of the happy flowers in my yard.

Pretty! We don't have to worry about squirrels, but the snails ate the flower petals!
Lovely! We have some daylilies that a friend sent from Texas. There is greenery now, but I think they'll bloom later in the season. I hope!
I love daffodils! When you see them for the first time, it's such a great reminder that Spring will be here soon!
