More of the daffodils are opening or almost opening. Soon there'll be enough that I can pick a bouquet of them. I was tempted by a clutch of tulips at the grocery this afternoon but I resisted. I bought grapes instead.
The Downy Woodpecker was back at the feeder today and I even managed to get a bit of the red swipe at the back of his head.
I didn't have anything to knit tonight at Friday Night Knitting so I went downstairs to find a skein of dishcloth cotton and cast on a double thick washcloth. I found a goof way at the beginning but since it's for me and it's just a washcloth I'm leaving it. I'd have to frog it all the way back to the boo boo to fix it and I'm not doing that.
Today's toss was a jar of foreign coins I found in a box downstairs. I don't think they're worth anything and I imagine some kid will get a kick out of them at Goodwill.
The prompt today asked what gives you joy. My children and grandchildren give me joy. I miss them when I don't see them or hear from them and now I understand Mom's wish that we all lived in a compound so that she would have us all around her all the time. Now I get it.
I spent most of the day doing laundry. What a thankless chore that is. You get it all clean and folded and in not too much time you have to do it all over again. *sigh*

Your description of laundry would define all housework. But someone's gotta do it!! That bunch of yellow crocus is like a little ball of sunshine. I love it too.
