Nothing says spring like a trip to Daffodil Days. My sister and I made our yearly trek to a winery a little over an hour from home. Daffodil Days officially starts tomorrow. We always go the day before when there are fewer people around and less exposure to chemicals and fragrances from all those people who bathe themselves in chemicals. Last year I posted pictures in my post entitled How I spent my “Be Kind to Yourself” Day. It was during this trip and photos we took that I found the photo for the back cover of Allergic to Life.
We had thought about making the drive further to Daffodil Hill like last year. The wild daffodils on the hills near the winery were scarce and spent. We made the wise decision of foregoing the drive there this year.
There is nothing more uplifting and soothing than beautiful flowers and a long overdue day out with my sister. I hope you enjoy these beautiful flowers as much as we did.
Oh my gosh, Kathryn, next time I wanna go….Pattimari
That would be fun.
Thanks for sharing it gives me hope that we may actually see Spring. It’s snowing here today. I can’t wait to open all the windows and breath fresh air and look out into garden. I’m glad you had such a beautiful day. 😀
Thank you so much Colleen. It was a lovely day. My sister and I were so in need of a day out with each other. Getting to enjoy the beauty of mother nature made it even more splendid.

Thank you Jennie. There is another place that I really want to go if I can find someone to go with me. Filoli Gardens near San Francisco.
It looks like spring.
It does, doesn’t it? Today we are having the March winds. I am trying to stay in as much as possible.
