Daffodil Festival

"If one daffodil is worth a thousand pleasures, then one is too few."
William Wordsworth

Today my husband and I traveled to Meridan, Connecticut for "New Englands Most Beauitful Daffodil Festival". There were an estimated 600,001 daffodils blooming through out a 1800 acre park in Meridan, Connecticut, with 61 different varities.  The display of daffidols are just amazing.  Most people said it was the best display in years. It seems that in recent years the blooms were premature or had already bloomed at the time of the festival.  There were several hundred of art/craft vendors along with Musical Entertainment.  The festival runs both Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm.
The weather was just right for an outside event and the ground was dry for a stroll thru the daffidols and the festival.  When I was a child I looked for the blooming of the daffidols as a sign that spring was finally here.  I felt that same childlike feeling today seeing the acres and acres of daffidols.
If you are out for  drive,  look for the daffidols, they are blooming freely along most country roads!
