It’s daffodil season at Filoli, an estate located 30 miles south of San Francisco.
Filoli was built for William Bowers Bourn II and his wife, Agnes Moody Bourn, who lived there from 1917 until 1936. The estate was built from the profits of the Empire Mine, a gold mine near Grass Valley, California. The estate is now owned by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Daffodils (properly called Narcissus) are among my favorite flowers, and so I took the opportunity to photograph the daffodils at Filoli during lunch on Tuesday.

Since this record is from the civil copy of the parish register, the actual signature of the Godfather does not appear on this copy.
UPDATE 08 Mar 2008: Gilles, The Nomadic Researcher pointed out that this record does, in fact, show the actual signature of the Godfather. I guess it must have been very late when I wrote this article. This image was from the original parish records. The copy (without the Godfather’s signature) can be found as image 6/36 in the Québec Vital Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967 on Ancestry.com in the records for Cap St. Ignace 1688-1695. The record appears on the front of folio 3. Thanks once again for your help, Gilles!

One unusual aspect of this baptism is that the child was baptized TWO days after birth. In New France, infants were generally baptized on the day of their births or on the very day after.
Since this record is from the civil copy of the parish register, the actual signatures do not appear on this copy.
