Aren't they cheerful? Like sunshine in a vase. We are actually in search of snow here - we were promised it last night in Santa Barbara, but nothing materialized. Send good snow vibes, and I'll try and send a little southern CA sunshine your way!AliBlahBlahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03335907266347761153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29874674.post-60265335136899583412011-02-26T10:31:26.358-05:002011-02-26T10:31:26.358-05:00The lane outside our house has loads of daffodils ...The lane outside our house has loads of daffodils in bud....there is always at least one open on St Davids Day.

Wow! They weren't a nice bouquet here either - just 10 daffs held together with an elastic for $1.50. We pick out the ones that are still just buds and then they open up after they're in a vase.Almost Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865905831387595915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29874674.post-62380253766486523722011-02-22T11:28:10.121-05:002011-02-22T11:28:10.121-05:00Out of curiosity I checked the prices in my local ...Out of curiosity I checked the prices in my local Sainsbury's supermarket (in the UK). A rather manky-looking bunch of ten daffs was selling for 99p - reduced from £1.99. Not a bouquet, mind you, just a small bunch with a plastic label holding it together.<br /><br />$3 is about £1.85 so it certainly looks like you got a bargain.arniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13068830078875310006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29874674.post-88923579593524772102011-02-21T19:23:36.476-05:002011-02-21T19:23:36.476-05:00Absolutely, $3 for 20 daffodils was a bargain!
