It’s raining again now, but Buddha and I were reveling in the sunshine this week, I with my pen and watercolors while he basked in meditative bliss right outside my studio.

Years ago I planted daffodil bulbs all in a row along the driveway only to find that by bloom-time they had mysteriously migrated to other places. Every year now a big clump of daffodils emerges on the steep hillside above my studio. I had a few more moments to catch the last light of day standing downhill from the blooms on rain softened ground for a shaky scribble of a bloom capture on paper. And then the miraculous baby Pipevine pipes appeared just by my feet so I leaned over to sketch them as well.
These Dutchmen’s pipes will soon open, then be quickly replaced with green leaves and eggs and then my favorite black and orange polka dotted caterpillars. Now if that isn’t garden magic, I don’t know what is.

If you were wondering who moved your daffodil bulbs, it is most likely gophers. They are toxic to them, hence they do not eat them. But if one is anywhere near their burrow, it will get moved elsewhere, up to 50 feet or more sometimes from where they were planted.

Thanks Kate! Yes, I’ve heard that. And Lord knows we have a lot of gopher activity on our property.
