first crocus

we walked outside yesterday and this little lady nearly knocked me over



i guess i wasn't expecting her quite so soon




and she has some yellow friends nearby



sitting on the hammock and feeling warm with my little guy made me think i was fine with winter being over.

but another freeze is on the way.

and the crocus? she will fold under the chill. the gift of her early nod encourages us to look toward the bright days that lie ahead.
