Daffy Daffodils

You all know I love flowers and one of my favorites, without a doubt, is a daffodil. It's one of the first flowers of spring, it's bright and wonderfully fragrant. Now that being said, I do believe that some people simply take things too far. My case in point, Nantucket, Massachusetts, home of the Daffy Hat contest.

It's all part of their Annual Daffodil Festival which is coming up this weekend. The weekend activities include a Daffodil Tailgate Picnic, Daffodil Dog show and the ever popular, Daffy Hat Pageant. As much as I love Daffodils, I would not be caught dead in a Daffy Daffodil Hat. It really has nothing to do with my self-pride as much as it is about protecting myself from bees!

If you have nothing to do this weekend, you might consider a road trip with friends. This undoubtedly would have to be a festival to witness in person to adequately relay how much fun is had by all attending. Checkout www.nantucketchamber.org
