Posted on February 27, 2014 by Mary Christine

My neighbor’s crocus are up.  It is a lovely thing to see.  I admire them for pushing through the ice and snow, every single year.  Getting more snow dumped on them, and still springing back.  They rock.  Tulips do too. … Continue reading →

Pink Clouds

It’s definitely winter
