This makes me happy. It looks like something to come upon in the woods up north. But it is just leaves that blew into the garden here.

And the winner of the first bloom in the 2023 gardens is

the crocus!!!
Hopefully sir bunimous does not munch on them.
Happy Easter to you and yours! If you celebrate 🙂



Bunimus came to visit at the end of my work day. First the meal was the tulip greens. Then something along the paver edging. Either works 🙂

The crocuses still seem mostly safe, for now.

Beautiful spring. The crocuses blooming, the oak leaves saying goodbye, and a hint, just a hint, of bunny activity. Now I need to research – don’t rabbits like crocuses? I thought they did. Or is that the coffee grounds at work? Should I move that oak leaf covering the crocus or will that be the temptation tipping point for the bunny – who we often see, and its buddies. What is happening here? Ok with bunnies eating the garden??? It’s ok – those tulips don’t bloom – haha!
Well, for sure no more coffee grounds – that is in moderation only. Maybe leave it as it occured, and let the wind make the decision.

It did.

Could it be? Yes! The first flower of the year! Of course it is a hardy crocus! Yeah for crocuses!!! Or croci. Whichever you prefer, the first flower of the year deserves celebration! Look close 🙂
