Yes, it does cheer me up, I can see daffs. shivering as they emerge from the snow to which we awoke this morning! More snow today than anytime since we arrived last March. :(
I've had dads out since December and still have them going strong along with crocuses and iris, probably some more bulbs if I went looking. Camellia and Magnolia are going strong......despite the frosts over past couple of nights.
