Spring Sprang While I Was Gone



So I finally got out for a quick walk yesterday - after nearly a week in bed with the flu. It's jolting how quickly things change in such a short amount of time. The crocuses - cro·cus [ krṓkəss ] (plural cro·cus·es or cro·ci [ krṓ sī, krṓkee ]) - had popped up while I was gone. Maybe no big deal to you. But to me, it means I am over the hump of the winter blues. I can take a deep breath, relax, and know that spring will be here soon.

Went to the nursery a second time to buy a daphne odora plant but they aren't in yet. I have planted at least three of those in my yard over the years, and not one has made it. I just don't have the right touch I guess. But I'm going to keep trying.
