i love daffodils.  i love they way they pop up at the first sign of a warm day, after a long winter's hibernation.  their yellow, sunshiny faces glow even on gray, rainy days; their bright petals bring the sunshine inside.
for me, they will always be the first sign of spring.

let the good times roll ...

the new year, so far: 

birthday bombe in gatlinburg, 

mardi gras celebration,

bachelorette party in raleigh,

and finally ... 

LONDON!!

(more on that soon)
