Crocus

Is the plural croci?? Not too much green around here, yet. The grey lawn seem to go along with grey days. We have had some nice sunny days and the sun came out long enough to get this shot yesterday. Crocus come up all over. My sister says the squirrels dig them up and rebury them in another spot. The long shaggy grass is left over from last fall when I should have done one last mowing. I think crocus are the bravest of the early spring blossoms. Our resident woodchuck, called Mildred, is out every day, inspecting the rosa mundi bed to get the first green leaf buds. Of course, it may not be the same chuck every year or even a female, but they're all Mildreds to me.

I've yet to even see a crocus though I did some some daffodil shoots while down in New London the other day. Maybe if we got more than one day of sun a week ...

What a great name for a woodchuck! I like the name of your blog too.

We have tulips, daffodils, crocuses (croci? heh) heather, violets and magnolias blooming here in Vancouver. I took some pictures the other day, and I may post them on my blog this weekend.

I saw the first crocus in my yard yesterday. The colors are slowly arriving. Beautiful photo.
