Coming Soon To A Garden Near You

It's another Outdoor Wednesday hosted by Susan of A Southern Daydreamer. Please visit her beautiful site and feast your eyes on some wonderful outdoor pictures.

In March amid the blow and cold,
up through the layered leaves dark mold
a golden crocus blooms alone.
Distilled from earth, rain, snow and sun,
appointment kept, the cycle run
a chalice lifts and winter's gone.

Sr. Martha Wickham, ASC Red Bud lll


Till next time, Happy Decorating

Crocus are such darling little flowers. They can look like Easter eggs tucked in among the grass and greenery, just in time for Easter. Beautiful photos!

Hello Kathleen, Happy OW, your bulb mosiacs are beautiful, such lovely colours, I did not get any bulbs in this year :(, so looking at yours has made me happy, Kathy.

Oh Kathleen
Crocus is my fav little bulb. I have all colors here at my cottage/home. When we lived in Van.B.C. they were everywhere. March was their special time to peep out, then all the tulips oh how I miss all that color right now. Oh well soon enough.
Happy OW

Kathleen, I can't wait to see blooming crocus in our yard this Spring. It has been a winter filled with snow and cold weather here in Illinois. Photos have great color, by the way. Happy Outdoor Wednesday!

Kathleen, thank you for this beautiful preview of Spring.

I enjoyed your post with the pictures of writers and their dogs, too.

I hope your "Outdoor Wednesday" is filled with sunshine. Ours is cloudy, rainy, and very windy ... a nice day to stay indoors.

Sincerely,

Janie
