Annual Happy Day

For about one hour yesterday my tiny crocuses bloomed. They are again closed up tight and will hopefully make it through all the bad weather this weekend to make Monday another happy day.

And then there was purple

My later blooming purple crocuses and no, I haven’t cleaned out my garden beds yet.

The buds turned to flowers and now I have many crocuses blooming in my garden with still more to come.

On the first whole day of spring the crocuses did emerge. It was cloudy so they didn’t open, but hope is on the horizon.

After Another Nice Day

Before and after all the bad weather, one has to appreciate each nice day as the spring garden does blossom. Lots of rain coming up, but a whole lot better than snow and ice.

Finally today the crocuses started to open. A lot of them appear to be damaged – by wind or wild animals?

Not far from the daffodils, there was a hill filled with crocuses. Dreamy spring.

I’ve been so busy lately that I hadn’t even checked the weather forecast, so
Wrong #1 It does feel like spring today
Wrong #2 Some of my crocuses did rally and open up wide today

When it felt like spring

My crocuses didn’t survive the snow, but they were a welcome sight beforehand.

Just Maybe

There is a slight chance of some sun today, maybe my crocuses will open one more time and it will be light enough to see them this evening.
