I see that my 1st sentence is a repeat. Here is another:
1.add a phrase: Look here, the daffodils are already blooming in my garden.

Good job, Enya, but your last sentence makes the original sentence into a dependent clause.
Leah, your phrase is the same as Enya's (and your second attempt is very similar), and you also made the original sentence into a dependent clause.
Here is an example:
phrase: In a sign that spring has arrived, the daffodils are already blooming in my garden
dependent clause: Although it is still rather cold, the daffodils are already blooming in my garden
independent cause: The sun is shining, and the daffodils are already blooming in my garden.
