Where have all the daffodils gone?

Wow, another cold day here in Alabama. Last year I saw the first daffodils blooming in mid January. Since I was a child, seeing the daffodils bloom along the roadside has always been my marker for realizing I've made it through the winter. It's like God sent a little bit of sunshine that I could actually pick, put in my kitchen and brighten up not only my house, but my spirits. I think, even though it's cold today, I'll take a walk and see if I can spot them sprouting. There's always hope!
