Hey TBI/PTSD. Spring is my favorite time of the year also. Everything comes alive,and it's beautiful. I love the sound of Spring Peepers. We will hear a chorus of them soon. They are soothing to the heart to hear. BF

wow, that's a great sign BF.

My crocus are just blooming. They do that here for me at the end of Summer/Start of Autumn (Fall). I love the crocus. People used to call me the crocus fairy because when they were dormant I'd go around planting them everywhere I could just so there would be that wonderful surprise when they finally flowered.

Weird upside down world we live in!

I do not know who planted the crocuses from my memory.
When I was in grade school there were some white ones that would open up very very early in the spring /late winter.
Once they came up through some snow.

My mother was always very happy to see them.

We had some daffodils that seemed to grow wild too. I think that they were yellow.

Ugh, even with two days above 40* and rain! we still have a 2' snow pack and mounds around my flower garden area from shoveling the walks. Looks like more to come this week, weekend, and next Tuesday.

Steve what a hopeful sign of Spring! Glad you shared.

Smile Daffodowndilly by A.A. Milne
I love Daffodils.

I don't know if this was originally written as a poem or as a song, but I had it as a song on a children's record when I was little. It had one of those pretty fairy tale melodies that nursery rhymes tend to have:

Daffodowndilly by A.A. Milne
She wore her yellow sun-bonnet,
She wore her greenest gown;
She turned to the south wind
And curtsied up and down.
She turned to the sunlight
And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour:
"Winter is dead."

That is lovely.


I could not find the music / song for it but
here are some children reciting the poem.

Smirk daffadils
Many years ago I planted thousands of daffadils .They took a satilite picture.some years ago and it was taken when they were out.
I probably have the only flower garden that can be seen from space
that is how many I planted which took about two months.

I hope you all are doing well.
I am doing well despite stage three PD.
Glad I planted them when i did as i could never do it now.

How absolutely AWESOME is that ? From SPACE.....why do I feel like I've seen that picture ? Was it on the news ?

My mom calls them jonquils and she's 83 today ! And in very good shape

I've had a hard previous 12 months....have 2 new decks since last spring, summer and am determined to put some plants out there this year ! I have good intentions anyway.

Have a good day everybody.
