Are there daffodils in Boston?

The way I experience daily life is changing. Every moment that I have left in Eugene is being savored, rolled around in my mind, and deliberately enjoyed. I am absorbing the landscape and rhythms, that I have all too often taken for granted,
with all of my senses. Sometimes it feels like I am storing these moments for future, snowy, urban days when I am homesick for the familiarity of North-West.

As spring comes into bloom I am struck by its beauty. Delicate petals in soft hues of light pink and white have enveloped the fruit trees. Tiny green buds promising full, luscious leaves dot branch and bush everywhere I look. There is a sweetness in the warming air and the sky is more frequently that lovely shade of blue that means summer is near. Daffodils are spreading sunshine abundantly and tulips are about to make their debut. As I soak up all of this delicious color I can't help but wonder, does Boston have daffodils in March? What are the seasonal rhythms there? Someone, please, tell me that I won't be wearing winter boots with down coats and wool scarves in March.


I did a quick check online for 'average temperatures' in Boston. I thought some of you might like to take a look. This is a nice graph and might help you to plan your visits...you will be visiting, won't you?



And perhaps more importantly, sunshine.
