Somewhere the weather must be warm and truly springlike, but not here.
Nevertheless, the Pike Place Market celebrated the first day of spring by stationing volunteers (bundled in parkas and boots against the cold) to give away 30,000 daffodils on all the busiest corners in downtown Seattle this morning. It was a wonderful gesture - in spite of cold wind and intermittent drizzle, most people smiled and reached out for the offered flowers.
Next month we can look forward to fields blazing with tulips in the Skagit Valley, just north of here. For now, we have wind, rain, and the possibility of snow tonight!
