Signs of Spring!

The Japanese go out to admire the cherry blossoms this time of year - I go out to admire the crocuses.

Oops ... I need more sleep methinks ... I mixed up your post with an earlier email I had from someone talking about Spring Crocuses it is ... and they're very nice to see and I love 'em too, lots ... but LILACS for some reason, have always been "it really ain't Spring until the Lilacs start!!! In fact, I bought a glass vase at the dollar store to be ready for them, came home, and immediately dropped/broke it ... so went back next day and got another : ... glad it cost only a dollar

Happy Spring to those of you starting to believe in it again!
