Flower Surprise!

The schedule for this blog is Monday/Wednesday/Friday... but I just couldn't help posting a quick note, because otherwise I wouldn't be able to show you everything in a timely manner!  Look what popped up a bit ago:

Purple buds

Two of the Japanese maples had been in the care of an aunt for the past two years, and we put them in the backyard as soon as we moved to a place that actually HAS a backyard.  There was something special waiting for us in one of the pots that came out when we moved them to the right level of sun.  I asked her what they are, and she said they are crocuses... and that she'd planted a few other surprises.  Hello, spring!

Do you have any flowers in your garden yet?

It was very touching! She said they make good indicators of when to water too, they'll wilt before the tree does.

Haha, I remember as a little girl I'd take seed pods from the flowers I liked and sneakily spread them around my parents' property. Nobody ever knew, 'cause they were native.

Better watch out, I may sneak into your yard and plant a Zen Frog! ;)
