Spring means Daffodil Hill

.... and vice versa. At least it has come to mean that for us. I think since we were introduced to Daffodil Hill five years ago we haven't missed going up there sometime during the Spring although I think once we were too late and another year we went too early and had to come back a week or two later.

According to their brochure, Daffodil Hill usually opens as soon as 25% o f the flowers are in bloom and closes when there is less than 25% still in bloom. So although there doesn't seem to be many daffodils in the picture above, just imagine four times as many blossoms.

There, that's better. And some areas looked even more populated with daffodils.

This year we had planned on going up the second weekend that Daffodil Hill was opened. Turned out they had snow there last week so we really were there the first weekend it opened. As you can see there really are a lot of flowers in bloom but they're not all close to the bottom of the ranch. It seemed that the higher we went up the hill, the more dense the flowers.


Carolyn is still trying to organize places to go and things to do for our church's women's group and anyone else who wants to tag along. Because it is so "laid back" she doesn't mind if only two people show up or twenty.

This picture includes all but 3 men taking the picture and one looking on but too far away to join. As you can see, the group also included several young people. I think everyone enjoyed themselves.

  1. It was a lovely day, and I'm happy that Carolyn organizes these trips. And thanks for doing all the driving, blogging, and picture-taking, Arnold! I feel blessed.
