Crocuses and peepers

That hillside planting gives a new meaning to the Language of
Flowers.  I love it!

In Santa Cruz, CA where we're having our version of icy cold
winter-nights in the 30's and frost.

Here in Massachusetts, it snowed again, and we have neither

crocuses nor

peepers.

Years ago my parents lived in Pennsylvania. There was a tall grassy

bank

beside the road, and the neighbor who owned it had planted crocuses

in a

pattern so that they came up making the letters SPRING IS HERE.

Everyone

loved it, but over time some of the bulbs must have slid down the

hill,

and for many years it came up and heralded SPRING IS HE.

We still go around saying this in my family.

As for peepers, at quite a young age my daughter explained to her

sister, "they´re singing about sex because they are

from earth."

Sounds as if SPRING IS HE in Maryland.
