Wye Mt. Daffodil Field

FIL flies in today from Santa Fe and is with us through Tuesday, Easter brunch is here, and I am cleaning and cooking.

Happy Easter to all.

These are photos of the Daffodil field 5 minutes from the house taken by my friend and neighbor Sharon. The Daffodil festival is an annual event -- 7 acres of blooming beauties....Enjoy~!

Leslie said...: Wish I was there to walk thru that field. Reminds me of home and our back yard. We still have a smattering of winter, no glorious explosion of green growing things yet, but soon, the signs are there.; April 1, 2010 at 5:45 PM

wendy said...: I would absolutely love to see that. I love the spring flowers. It inspires me that if we ever get our yard situated and the area around it, I want to plant lots of bulbs.

Now, how do I keep the deer away??; April 2, 2010 at 7:17 PM

Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself......

Having lived in the east and the west, I've found myself back in my home state of the south - not the 'deep' south; we like to think of ourselves as pioneers and our state as the 'jumping off place' to beginning a westward journey, like so many migrating pioneer families considered us to be in the 1800s.

My husband "Excy" and I run a wild mustang sanctuary (www.wingspur.org -- that's our 'wild bunch' running across the header up there), and are being bossed around by tons of wild and domestic animals. We seldom get a chance to get away anymore, but that's okay.

I am a former magazine editor and was working for a national nonprofit when I had to go on disability in '97. Now I freelance articles and edit for a publishing house and private clients. Like most everyone out there, I have a few screenplays and mostly-completed novels in a drawer. I'm also failing to learn how to play the hammered dulcimer. Can't read music, just play by ear. But I have slowly mastered some civil war-era and folk songs.

I started blogging because a friend thinks I'm funny and I'd be good at it, and because it's way more fun than Facebook.
