Spring is Here

It is Mach 21st, and the first official full day of Spring, and on this Sunday afternoon I found the first blooms to confirm that Spring is really here! These are both varieties of the Crocus bulb plants, and they were small, but vibrant. The yellow variety was fully open with more coming nearby, while the purple one is showing what is about to emerge tomorrow. They were the very first blooms I had seen anywhere this spring, after a deluge of white for months and months, they are a most welcome sight! Enjoy, and notice flower beds that face the south, and maybe you will see some as well

I miss spring flowers, particularly the daffodils. They seemed a marvelous symbol of the resurrection, more apt than lilies.
