Trumpets of Spring

In my past posting, I mentioned the yellow crocus that had survived the ice storm, and announced that the jonquils have bloomed. This cluster is ever faithful and poked up through the dark brown soil when I needed a boost in spirits the most. How can anyone be a grump when she spies the resounding joys of jonquils? These perky blooms are the ones I used last spring as inspiration for one piece in my garden series last year.
