The Welcome Barrel

Proprieter Judy McKinney planted daffodils, pansies, cabbages and strawberries

in a barrel to welcome folks to the Orrville Farmers' Market.

The business sells seeds and plants, produce and gifts.

Her future plans include a kitchen/cannery for classes in canning,

breadmaking, soapmaking and more.

Down by an Old Homestead

Except for a flock of daffodils and narcissus, it's hard to imagine

that anyone ever lived here. But despite a broken house

and broken trees, the flowers just keep on keeping on!

Thanks to guest photographer Doug Gresham.

The Groundhog is Wrong

It's Groundhog Day, and Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks

of winter this morning!

But wait! My daffodils are blooming.

So despite a cold wind and predicted deep freeze tonight in Selma,

it must be Spring!

Daffodil Debut

The annual daffodil debut has arrived!

Late January may seem early for spring flowers, but daffodils and snowdrops

are usually the first to shoot up from the brown ground.

Now, if the weather will just stay warm enough to keep them around!

Those brave, brave daffodils! Every February, they flirt with Spring only to have Old Man Winter come along and break their hearts!

Tonight's forecast: A mix of rain and snow. No accumulation, thank goodness!

Flower Thaw

Daffodils that have bloomed since January bowed their heads Sunday in surrender to a slushy cover of snow. When temperatures rose, they shed tears of joy!

Tenant House Daffodils

Clumps of daffodils are perennial reminders of tenant houses that once dotted the landscape of Dallas County. Today, most of these simple wooden structures are going or long gone. Here, the tin roof of a tenant house porch has fallen across the front porch.

Spring Preview

We're getting a Spring Preview this week with daffodils and 70-degree weather!

These early bloomers hide under a hill in our yard and are determined to keep spreading their cheer despite weather that changes drastically daily.

WELCOME!

Selma is among the oldest cities in Alabama and has the largest contiguous historic district. It is known for its Civil War and Civil Rights history. The Battle of Selma was one of the last fought in the War Between the States, and the town was a center for the Voting Rights Movement in the 1960s. Today, with a population of about 20,000, Selma is the largest town in the western Black Belt region. The Black Belt, named for the color of its soil, stretches across Central Alabama from Mississippi to Georgia.
