Rose Chaney, blogger Grateful for Life https://rosechaneygratefulforlife.blogspot.com/2021/11/would-like-to-share-things-i-am.html |
Yesterday afternoon, I went to town looking for some Sandpoint funk for fun pics.
I found some.
I also found Rose and her crocuses.
Rose, a fellow blogger, who pens her daily "Grateful for Life" thoughts and pictures, was out with her daughter Mary Lou sweeping up winter residue.
I knew she had crocuses because she has posted some pictures on her blog.
So, I asked if I could take some of my own crocus pictures.
Rose was more than happy to take me around the side of her house facing the Pend Oreille River.
And, by golly, she's got crocuses---thousands of them of varying colors and putting on a crocus show like I've never seen.
So far, this spring I've seen two crocuses popping up in the same bed where my periwinkle sleep for the winter.
Twas a nice interlude with Rose, and soon I went on my way, only to be chased down in this quiet south Sandpoint neighborhood in my green Subaru by some goofball in a gray Subaru.
What's Sandpoint coming to these days to experience potential road rage on a quiet street???
Well, turns out the gray Subaru was my son Willie and his wife Debbie and his friend Duane, wondering what Mom was doing snooping around in the neighborhood where Duane lives.
The trio were headed to Spokane to watch the NCAA women's tournament game between Stanford and Texas.
So, I guess it was quite okay for Willie to chase me down.
Anyway, I had a nice time clicking on fun stuff in town and then coming home to watch the Oscars.
What are the peace loving Oscars coming to these days when another Will chases down a Chris who's up on a stage and slaps him across the face, then returns to his seat and yells profanities that had to be muffled out on everyone's Oscar feed for several seconds???
Well, I don't think Chris' slap on the face resulted in the same "Hi, how ya doin'?" experience I had yesterday with my Will.
Crazy world we're living in with reminders every day, it seems.
That said, there are the shining moments, and to spend a few minutes with a fellow blogger and her beautiful spring flowers----that kinda sets of the disappointing behavior seen by a "prince" at the Oscars.
Thanks, Rose, for letting me see those crocuses.
In other news, I did some 'mater transplanting yesterday, and the plants spent the night in the greenhouse with heaters.
We'll see how they do in the next few days.
The article below talks about whether or not we save any money gardening. I don't think we do, but the taste of our own homegrown and fresh goodies each year is priceless.
My friend Connie has been busy like all the rest of us who've been yearning for months to get outside and do something besides shovel snow.
I hope you enjoy her blog post and the photos.
Happy Monday.
