Purple Fields

 There is a field of Crocus nearby. And they have already bloomed!






March so fickle, March so fair,
Pouting, shy, with wind-blown hair,
Nut-brown shawl and crocus cup,
Smile that lights the whole world up.

Oh, the purple field is so pretty, Ginny. When I lived in So Cal, I used to see the Purple Jacaranda gracing the trees and making a trail on the streets. It was lovely. That's amazing that the Crocus has already bloomed in your area.

Happy March days, Ginny.
