The Very First Blooms

I don't remember why I was outside with my camera at the exact moment that Piper discovered the daffodils behind the compost pile had finally blossomed, but I'm glad I was.

The girls had been eyeing them for days, hoping each morning that one would show its face.

Pip was the lucky girl who saw them first, though.

The next day, Susie sketched them in the rain...

until the sun came out again.
