Another sighting ...

I saw my first crocus bloom this afternoon. Every year I convince myself that this first sighting is extremely early, a rarity, a phenomenon to be sure ... although, I bet if I was actually tracking the dates I would have had similar thoughts last year when I sighted my first crocus, in what I'm fairly sure must have been about the 3rd week in January. Chalk it up to another case of a pent-up gardener seeking signs of spring wherever and whenever she can.
