As I was driving down a Cambridge street last Tuesday this scene caught my eye. My heartfelt good wishes and thanks to whatever forward-thinking kind soul who planted these crocus bulbs and let them naturalize through the lawn; after a long and cold and grey winter they were balm for the eyes.
Apologies for the small image size — the light was about to turn green, so I had to snap before I could zoom in.
Great! In Villanova, on Spring Mill Road, on the strip between road and sidewalk, every year I would see
SPRING IS HERE spelled out in crocuses. You couldn’t argue with that!
