{Winter Blooming Fragrant Daffodils!}

What a surprise for having a little vase with winter blooming fragrant daffodils! This photo is from January 7 and they were already blooming in our garden for a full week, before we brought them inside. So again, love to share them with you, sans frangrance, as I cannot capture that on camera.

They are small but oh so pretty. Look how they shimmer in the sun light!

Proudly they show themselves on January 7! Unreal for the time of year...

Any winter bloomer is welcomed with open arms as it brightens one's day!

Here they are on December 30, still in our garden...

These daffodils start out as pure white beauties with a yellow corona (trumpet)...

{Blogger MICHIKO needs YOUR SUPPORT!}

This blog is a plea for help from bloggers around the world. Poor MICHIKO from Victoria, Australia has been involved in an accident on Decembe 15. She got badly injured, just read her son's post from yesterday for more here. Sadly, Michiko has accidentally deleted her older posts, including this meaningful one with ALL the sweet comments!  Please do follow her blog, as a gift to her, for showing we all care and leave a short note for encouragement. That will build her up more than you ever will imagine! Michiko is originally from Japan. So let us pass along some blog LOVE... ♥♥♥

Let us show her OUR SUPPORT!

Celia from the blog: Celia M. High Heeled Life & Resilientista will understand best what this lady is going through... as I've mentioned in my previous post here.

♥♥♥

Thanks for your help, I know that bloggers are the nicest bunch of people!
