daf fest

Today Josh and I joined his family in Gloucester, Virginia, for the 23rd Annual Daffodil Festival. We had a pretty solid day.

Unfortunately we missed the parade, but there was plenty more daffodil fun to be had. To start the day off right Josh bought me a pair of daffodil earrings, which I will most likely never wear again but were fun and festive.



We checked out the booths, ate fair-type food (including kettle corn), pet a llama, and saw lots of cute dogs. Of course there were also all the daffodils.



In the afternoon we hopped on a school bus and visited a daffodil farm.


We also stopped by the local middle school to see the daffodil competition. Who knew there were so many different kinds of daffodils, and so many ways to judge them? Not me.



We finished out the day with a good Thai dinner. And yes, there were fresh daffodils on every table in the restaurant.

Baxter (the cat) has been eating our daffodils. They also have a rather strong fragrance that I was not aware of until recently. Baxter has also been eating a small palm plant and some tulips and generally making a mess with the dirt of these inside plants.
