The crocus has regularly cheered me up when winter seemed never ending! Well deserved first placement with this cute one Lin

As the first sign of Spring... ya know, it's a sign of new beginnings. I gotta say JCB is a sweetheart and based on the placements, her gallery showing of poems was a hit. LOL Your entry was just as deserving.

All is fine here, Tom. 82 degrees temp makes it more like summer than spring. That’s fine with me.

If that’s what the crocus wishes to do, I’m all for it! Purple and gold blend rather nicely.
