Why these really are my favorite flowers...

I saw the first of these beauties blooming yesterday. Which can only mean 2 things:

(1) We have nearly made it through another Utah winter (and are, as my b.i.l. pointed out, officially in the season of Sprinter)

and

(2) We are approaching the time when I'll find out if the ones I planted last fall survived the winter. Daffodils are supposedly deer-proof. The deer obliterated my pansies the night that I planted them so I have wondered for several months now whether or not my bulbs met the same demise. I'm crossing my fingers...

P.S. This is officially my 100th post. Whew!
