Thank you, crocuses.

Thank you, crocuses, for coming up and blooming before everything else, just as an early guarantee that it really is spring.

I have not planted bulb flowers yet (although I know that technically crocuses don't grow from bulbs), until a month or so ago I stuck some irises in the ground (and I know that technically irises don't grow from bulbs either). But this year I'm so thankful to the crocuses that it makes me think I should plant some early flowers like crocuses and daffodils this fall so that next spring I'll have them.

Meanwhile, I'll enjoy the neighbors'.
