A Promise of Good Things to Come



On Tuesday I drove past this particular yard and nearly wrecked my car when I caught sight in my rear-view mirror at this surprising and glorious first burst of spring-time crocus in full bloom. Unfortunately I couldn't turn around and take photos of. I was depressed.

When I drove by my favorite little crocus field yesterday, it was cold and dismal and all the crocus were tightly shut. You can just see their lavender hue, but they are certainly not in their full sunny springtime-to-come finery!

BUT! Just wait till this weekend! We're going to be sunny and in the 50's! I'll be back with a photo of my crocus in all their glory! Truly a promise of good thing to come.

  6. Color! What is color? I hardly recognize it, although it sure is gorgeous. The early daffodils are blooming here too. It's a miracle.

    wv: upsas. Winter can shove it upsas. Sorry, that's not very nice. I'll behave next comment.

  8. I'm sure hoping my crocus come up this year. We had work done in the backyard last year, and I'm not sure that they didn't get trampled into oblivion!

  10. I too, thought it was a painting and absolutely exquisite. Awesome shot.

    I look forward to some warmer temps with sun...we are all in need. But you already know what's on my forecast for next weekend...more? I can barely say the word anymore.

    WV: Grabia. Grabia while it's good.
