DAFFODILS AND TIP



Spring flowers are doing well this year -- last spring was so hot and dry that nothing did well. A cool and wet early spring was just what was needed. Crocuses have long since finished blooming, and now the daffodils have just begun to open. I was taking photographs of them this morning while they still were dewy when my Border Collie, Tip, joined me.

Tip has a tank top on because she managed to injure herself when jumping for a frisbee.... she jumped to catch it and landed on a log, tearing a large gap in her skin. It needed stitches from Dr. Mckee at his fine Headwaters Veterinary clinic in Shelbourne.

My maple sap collection was disrupted by my being overseas for two weeks -- when I was home to check the pail, I found it full of cloudy sap that had to be discarded. I will return to pull out the spigot and to plug the hole.
