A Sure Sign of Spring

Daffodils are always a sure sign that spring has arrived. I can't think of many things that are as beautiful as fields of daffodils. Tulips, maybe. Perhaps irises. Perhaps.

But daffodils just happen. Year after year. Carelessly coexisting with blackberry brambles and English ivy.

Spring has arrived in Oregon.

Happy Valentines Day

The day was celebrated with Linzer Cookies, made with the cookie cutter Der Peter bought for me at the München Weihnachtsmarkt.
