Hello and welcome to another Wrist to Forehead Sunday post. I still have no Mohawk Valley Adventures to blog about, but I have a few spring-ish pictures that I can share.
First spring-ish picture.
I have been taking walks almost every day, in addition to my runs, and I have been appreciating the return of bare sidewalks. I was even more delighted when I looked down and saw these blossoms. I don’t know what they are; I don’t think they are crocuses, usually the first blooms we see. This was yesterday afternoon. Today I wondered if any of my crocuses were up. I ventured out to see.
They look a little sad.
There was nothing but last year’s grass out front. Out back I saw these white flowers, but I think I saw them too late for a good picture. I don’t know what these are either; I didn’t plant them, they just showed up (kind of like me at the Elks Club). Then I saw some green poking through last year’s leaves. I left all my leaves, because I read somewhere it was a helpful thing to do for certain bugs and critters. Any excuse for me to be lazy! However, this was where I had planted some daffodils a few years ago, and they usually come up.
Yay! Daffodils!
I pulled away the leaves and was delighted to see green and yellow. I walked around the yard, looking for any other bits of green trying to poke up but did not find any. However, I am encouraged by what I saw. Oh, I KNOW it will get cold and probably snow a couple more times, so you can just stop shaking your head at me with that superior smirk (you know who you are). I am enjoying the here and now.
And I am enjoying the fact that I am over 300 words with this blog post. I think that makes seven days in a row. I wonder what else I can accomplish.
