Stealing spring from a neighbor

Lynne Robinson, Hewitt, New Jersey

Since I don’t have any crocus of my own, I walked down the street yesterday while the sun was out and “stole” these images of neighbor Larry’s (the fig tree giver) little blooms. They brightened my day! Goodness knows I need a little brightness since today dawned dark and rainy. Again.

Crocus always make me smile….. I can’t get enough of them and plant a few more every year.

By the way…. next timeyou see Larry, ask him if he wants to sell a fig tree to a good home!  smile

I asked him last year for my neighbor and he just smiled, so I don’t know if he’s up to rehoming any more of them. It never hurts to ask, so when I see him bringing his out for the year I’ll inquire for you!

What beautiful photos they would put a smile on anyones face.  Thank you.

Joyce, thank *you* so much! I think next year I am going to have to plant my very own crocus!
(hah! but verification word is “without”) smile
