The lovely display of daffodils in my garden was dealt a nasty blow yesterday by a Spring snowfall. It was chilly and miserable outside and I had no desire to leave the comfort of the house. But, I was inspired by Shari Blaukopf who sketched her hyacinths under snow (see her post here), and by one particular daffodil that was determined to stay upright. I proclaimed to myself, I’ve got to sketch this!
Even as I sat there, the sun was trying to shine and the snow was melting and I felt reassured that these daffodils would recover. But overnight it was below freezing and today it is snowing again. Poor daffodils.

Thank you! And thanks for inspiring me. Unfortunately I didn’t have a willing photographer to capture me in action, very bundled up!! 😄

This is terrific…except for the inevitable crushing of the daffodils. It’s a scene worth capturing. Well done!

Thanks so much Jean! Great news, the daffs seem to be recovering! Such resilience. Perfect for Earth Day, and just the uplifting spirit that’s needed right now.
