Just about everyone I talked to today was, um, shall we say ‘somewhat less than pleased’ about the snowfall yesterday. At this point, folks are prepared to see an Easter blizzard roar in on our spring – it wouldn’t provoke the least bit of surprise.
And yet… this afternoon when I was leaving the town library I spotted this cluster of crocus out front. Snow be damned, they are bound and determined to bloom!


such beautiful bright color, boy do we need that now!
Wait, no, something’s wrong. Those aren’t white or brown. Those are the only two colors I’m familiar with on the ground!
