HARD DAY WITH CROCUSES

Yesterday was a long day. Between the telephone all morning trying to arrange a simple doctor's visit -- then going off to find out if I have cancer again (if you've had it once, you always wonder if it will come back), I was well and truly done by the time I got home. I … Continue reading HARD DAY WITH CROCUSES

Crocuses

Any day now ... spring! Marilyn had many crocus pictures in the Media Library and wrote about them often. The above was originally posted on March 2, 2013, by Marilyn Armstrong. This is not a “challenge,” just an invitation for you to bring back one of your early posts. You can pingback to this article … Continue reading Crocuses

SHARING MY WORLD WHEN IT’S ALMOST SPRING

SHARE YOUR WORLD 3-21-2022 I got a message from the Mass Audubon group pointing out signs of spring. It isn't actually spring here yet. Our real spring starts on the 27th of March because we are in that zone. But still, there are signs and portents. Crocuses We have not one, but two clumps of crocuses … Continue reading SHARING MY WORLD WHEN IT’S ALMOST SPRING

SKETCHBOOK 38 – OH, THE FLOWERS THAT BLOOM IN THE SPRING, TRA LA!

Think crocus. I'm pretty sure that outside, under the dead leaves from last autumn and the snow, there are crocuses. I know this because they are always there, every year from late February through March. I'm never sure what colors they will be. Sometimes purple only, but other years also yellow and white ones pop … Continue reading SKETCHBOOK 38 – OH, THE FLOWERS THAT BLOOM IN THE SPRING, TRA LA!

FIRST FLOWERS – CROCUS

Garry and I had to go into town. To the dentist. We were supposed to have done this a month ago, but we were getting through the flu and then, I just wanted to get past my birthday before I had to face up to the horrors of my teeth. Which, surprisingly were not all … Continue reading FIRST FLOWERS – CROCUS

EVEN MORE CROCUS

FOTD – March 13 – More new crocuses I didn't know crocus could spread like this. The other day we had two batches of crocuses. Today we had three bunches plus a singleton white crocus yards away from the others. I'm pretty sure there are some tulips sprouting, but I'm not sure. They need to … Continue reading EVEN MORE CROCUS

SPRING IS FOR CROCUS

FOTD – February 28 – Crocus I went out with my PT nurse today. I discovered I still can't walk straight, which was not a surprise. I'm not sure I will ever find my balance, but I'll keep trying. Of course, the other reason was to look in the garden to see if anything was … Continue reading SPRING IS FOR CROCUS

THE CROCUS ARE UP

FOTD – March 7 – Crocus Finally, the crocus are up. There are eleven, all purple. They are not in the garden. Instead, they moved and are now in front of the stone retaining wall. They look wonderful there. Those big granite stones are a perfect backdrop for the elegant little crocuses. Today was a demonstration … Continue reading THE CROCUS ARE UP
