Blooming

Purple petals rise

from frozen April soils

– garden rebirth.

Notes: The first flowers of the season started blooming a week or so ago, and in our backyard, these are crocuses. These are such perfect spring flowers – and always so appreciated after a long, cold winter. For many of you, spring is in full swing, but in my region, it’s not until mid to late-April when the snow fully melts and the landscape starts to shift from browns to greens. This time of year feels pretty great.
