I know this because of two things:

1) This came in the mail for me yesterday:

Thanks Robin and Bonny!

2) Jackson has vomited daffodils. Seriously, they’re everywhere. Daffodils are one of my least favorite flowers, and they’ve recently cropped up all over this town! In no particular order or obvious pattern either. It’s like the land got sick and threw up chunky daffodil puke everywhere.

They’re growing in random patches all over the parks and along the roads. Not in gardens or designated patches of soil, just wherever the fuck they feel like it, straight up from the grass. Some daffodil vomit piles are 30 yards long, some just a few feet. I have no photographic evidence of this spring spewage yet, but I don’t know whether I think it’s pretty or not. Flowers are always pretty, especially wildflowers. But despite their random locations and formations, these flowers seem sort of intentional.

I think some “environmental do-gooder” bought a thousand daffodil seed packets on sale at WalMart, walked around Jackson ripping them open occassionally, and dumped their contents wherever the land looked a little too blank. And I don’t know anything about horticulture or plant science, but why are there no other flowers up yet? Who knew daffodils were such early bloomers? Probably everyone but me. Shut up.
