When we moved to Cape Cod a few years ago, I noticed this bit of yellow in the woods behind our house. I thought it was a piece of trash. Was I pleasantly surprised to see that it was a lovely yellow Daffodil! (Click on blog link to see other photo.)
How on earth did it get there? My neighbor and I think a squirrel must have brought it there when it was digging for nuts. Can you see it in the 2nd photograph? It’s right in the middle of the picture!
With the cold weather we’ve had the past week or so, I thought that it would be late in blooming this year. But, it’s about 3 weeks ahead of schedule from years past. Maybe from the mild winter that we had?
Pretty, don’t you think? (It’s a little droopy because the temps haven’t gotten much above freezing the past couple of days!) I sure am ready to put my winter parka away!
It’s really cool to see this really old water tower on one of trails in Nickerson State Park. There is a fence around it, so you cannot go near it. It is near the back part of Little Cliff Pond and Higgins Pond.
I looked online for some information about it, but couldn’t find any. Does anyone know anything about the water tower? It would be interesting to know its history.
The weather was gorgeous the other day so we thought it would be nice to take a hike on one of our favorite trails. Little did we know that everyone else thought the same thing. With everyone home from work and kids home from school, the trails were crowded.
We decided it would be better to take a nice walk along Cape Cod Bay. It was gorgeous! What do you think?
