Dog has been impeccably behaved, grandson pretty good too!<br />LM - if I didn't live here France would be my only other alternative. good to meet you.<br />Mountainear - I must admit the very first thought of grass cutting had crossed my mind but I dismissed it sharpish.<br />Pondside - crocuses here definitely follow snowdrops and predate daffodils so there is a strong sense of progression. Love them too.<br />Marcheline - this is a good place for a dog I think.<br />Dan - I am enjoying having her around!<br />Esther - funniest thing about my crocuses is the number which have been disturbed by badgers. Wish they would show some taste and leave them alone.<br />Molly - my crocuses are still here but you are right. I will turn my back and they will have disappeared while the snowdrops hang on for ages.<br />Deborah - is it odd to find a flower optimistic? It certainly makes me feel that way!<br />Silverpebble - We see lots of badgers around here. One is often crossing the road as I come up the hill after Welsh class. I do rather wish they would stay out of my garden though!<br />Silvia - you can't grow crocus? I must come over and see where you are!Elizabeth Musgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473705107636868753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-26523501287612517992010-03-28T22:37:10.423+01:002010-03-28T22:37:10.423+01:00Pretty crocus!

Such optimism.

Very restful.<br />Crocuses don't mean so much to me here, as they just sort of blend in with the many other spring flowers, but when we lived in a really cold climate crocuses bloomed when nothing else yet had colour, and were a true sign of the end of winter.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028290314714419963.post-55243759464009376222010-03-28T09:27:30.515+01:002010-03-28T09:27:30.515+01:00Isn't is good to be 'out' and seeing w...Isn't is good to be 'out' and seeing what's going on?
