I was strolling around the yard yesterday afternoon when whaaaaat????????? What IS that purple spot over there??? omg, can it really be?? Oh yes, it really is, it really is! Doing a happy little dance. The crocus are blooming!!!!!! Cheerful little spot of bright color ~ you don't know how much you made my day! What a lovely surprise! I'd seen them poking up but we had snow on St. Patrick's Day for goodness sake (notice the white glare on the right side of the photo). I thought it needed to warm up a bit. Maybe that little sip of moisture was all they needed to burst open? Almost perfect timing with the first day of spring too! oh happy day!!!
that is sooo not fair. :P

What a wonderful discovery! Discovering the crocus is always a favorite gardening milestone for me too.
