The first crocus in our yard announcing spring for 2022
The first flower of spring is always much anticipated in The Scrapatch.
I watch for it for weeks, as soon as the ground begins to thaw.
It has kept me waiting this year.
Earlier this week we awoke to find snow again dusting our yard.
Spring has been creeping very slowly to our corner of the world.
I know the first flower of spring is there under the snow.
It gives me hope.
The morning after the snow there were the buds ready to bloom.
But the temperature was in the single digits
and it was too cold for them to open in the pale sunlight.
Crocus only open to the warmth of the sun and they close up at night.
Today is a gray day so the buds are half open.
I rejoice in the flowers of spring no matter what the day will bring.
Since it is Thursday, I am sharing with my friends at
I Like Thursday @ Not Afraid of Color
who will know what I mean.
Happy Thursday!
Does it seem like the early spring flowers are very late this year? A day or two warm, then really cold for a week or more.
ReplyDeleteYay for crocuses! We have a little patch of purple in our yard - I'm looking for more to come out soon!
ReplyDeleteIt is always so exciting to see the first signs of spring. Have a wonderful weekend.
