There's a place just up the road from me that I make a point to visit at this time of year.
It's the kind of spot that embodies the bucolic scenery of rural New England.
There are pastoral rolling hills...
...moss-patinaed stone walls...
...ancient gnarled trees...
...steep stone steps...
...and a lake with tiny islands.
It's a magical place at any time of year, but for a few weeks in April it becomes an enchanted land of earth, water, stone, and daffodils.
Daffodils have an alluring aroma with sweet notes of honey, citrus, warm spice, and exotic fruit. However, they contain the alkaloids galanthamine and lycorine that render them highly toxic if consumed. Even deer won't touch them.
