The first crocuses of the year are opening in today's sunshine. This one's for Mom, who passed away six years ago today. Happy Valentine's Day, Mom; I miss you!

Beautiful song, beautiful sentiment, BEAUTIFUL photo Kathy!

I love to see these show up in your garden, it means the wild ones will show up right on time where I live, on Mothers' Day! I will remember your mother when I see ours now, and of course my mom too. My mom died this past October 4.
