Waiting for the Daffodils

It is not my imagination:  spring  is late this year.  In 2012, my daffodils were blooming by Feb. 1.  In 2013, a more typical year, I had my first open on Feb. 21.  Here it is March 7, and I'm still waiting for the first bloom.  In fact, I'm still waiting for the first bud to show up.  The forsythia isn't even blooming yet! 

Daffodils are what get me through the winter.  When they bloom early, and it stays cold, they last for a long time.  I'm afraid this year they will wait until it is warm to bloom, then it will get hot, and they will be gone 3 weeks.  In a good year, my daffodils bloom from Feb. to almost May.  A quilting podcaster I know doesn't complain about the weather, she just reports on it.  I've crossed the line to complaining.  I'm ready for spring!

Here's a picture from 2011.
