CROCUS GUARDING!!!!!!!

Our crocus have burst forth as the days get warmer
and sun spends more time thawing the garden.
This is our favourite time of the year
revival
rewakening
renewal
rejoicing

I will sit on guard because I know my duty
after nine years of roaming my garden.
(I apologize for the occasional blurriness!)

From blurriness comes a work of art!
Perhaps the beginnings of
a new rug
a watercolour
an oil painting
or
whatever the imagination conjures!
You decide!!!

SPRING ~YES ~ IT IS HERE!!!

As the sun sets in the west over the marshlands

not more than a stone's throw away

I sniff and sniff my garden trails

looking for anything 

left from this winters long smothering of whiteness, cold and bitter winds.

But all I can find are my croci

which blend into the bank heading to the garden shed

Jim and I are concentrated on our own interests for sure

mine is more animal / bird oriented

while Jim's photography has grabbed his attention

The perkiness and vivid colours of these croci

seems to encourage us

 as we stroll

picking up debris

brushing things aside 

noticing lots of changes

I do enjoy my time as I completely scour 

every nock and cranny 

because crows drop things you know,

yummy things!!!

PS: FOR NOW 

~ THE WORD VERIFICATION ~

 HAS RETURNED BECAUSE OF ANNOYING SPAMMERS. 

ONE GETS TIRED OF THEIR GREEDINESS AND DISRESPECT, SO 

"OFF WITH THEIR HEADS" 

AS SAID IN ALICE IN WONDERLAND.

My Garden is Alive!

Time to start surveying my spring flowers ~~~

 Double Snowdrops are multiplying like crazy,

even more so than the single.

Is that possible?

The crocii are volunteering everywhere

especially in the walkway,

and  under the azalea bushes.

I particularly enjoy laying in the walkway 

amongst the crocii

just in case the guys decide to go for a drive.

Keeping an eye on the car is part of my responsibilities, you know.

I truly enjoy this crocus...

and I take extra special care not to trample the little feller.

They are so pretty dotting the landscape.

I love crocus!
