patience

Narcissus blooms in January here in Gifu. They are so pretty and cheerful, I would love to have large patches of them like our neighbors. But I think it will be a few years. Here are ours:
The girls love kinkan (kumquat?). We dream of a big kinkan tree like this someday...
But at least we got our first few kinkans this year.
When we moved in 2 years ago we saw the mikan (clementine?) trees next door
And planted ours with high hopes, still not a mikan to be seen.
However, the neighbor beyond planted her mikan tree the following year and look!
Lucky duck!
