Daffodils Herald Early Spring in Chicago

I wasn’t about to let this glorious day slip away without getting out for a walk. Sunshine and 80- degree temperatures this early in March is a rarity.

When I stepped out the back door, I discovered this glorious stand of daffodils in full bloom. I could almost hear them saying, “We just couldn’t wait for the gardener to spruce up the yard. It’s time to celebrate a new season.

Now, I know Spring doesn’t officially arrive in Chicago until next Tuesday, March 20th; but, for me and these daffodils, it’s time to celebrate anyway.

Even amidst all the concrete and masonry in Chicago there’s room for nature’s delightful creations. You might need to look a little closer but if you do, it’s there to brighten your day..
