Sunlit Sunday with Real Sunshine




It's raining again at the moment, but the sun shone this week.  All week.  I'm not talking about a metaphorical sunniness or a symbolic scrap of yellow, not a transitional breath of light between showers.  The sun shone.  All week.  Temperatures crept up.  Spirits soared.  Croci opened wide in their last hurrah and I, shovel in hand, inhaled the aroma of fresh soil and the food that it will grow.  Hallelujah, it's spring.

I'm joining Karen at My Little Home and Garden for Sunlit Sunday.

  1. I can hear the smile in your post, Cristal. I'm still waiting for the first hurrah of the crocus brigade. Somewhere, under the snow, I know they're planning a triumphant return.

    I hope some more sunshine finds you this week. Enjoy the beautiful crocus blooms.

  2. You must know we're waiting for our spring in Ontario and can hardly wait to get in the garden too. The backlit crocuses are pretty.

  4. Lovely crocus photo with the sun on them. Lucky you getting outside in the garden, our daughter from Sooke sends me photos of her garden ... rhubarb, garlic, green leaves and grass. We are waiting for spring here in Ontario.
