Don't Worry, He is Risen
Unseasonably warm weather had me worried for the early daffodils. It's my first spring on the prairie and I'm clueless how to handle the ups and downs and unpredictability of March in Kansas. There have been days approaching eighty degrees followed hard by mornings dipping into the low twenties.
