Message of the Day – A Flower
It looks like I won my own contest.
Last fall, I raked the entire public right-of-way on Lake Avenue next to our property, but “other people's leaves” covered it again.
Alert person that I am, I figured that I better get the leaves up before the bulbs started popping.
Midweek, I got rid of them between the steps to the only “hill” in Country Club Additions and the mailbox.
But, there are bulbs all along the road.
So I started raking again.
Now I have filled up every container I have and Lakewood doesn't do pick up from non-bags probably for a month.
Look what I found under the leaves.
It's a crocus. And, it's yellow, so I can see it well.
Anyone else have any flowers?

Message of the Day – A Flower
A couple of the days after the shoveled snow melted from above this crocus, it appeared in its yellow promise of more spring flowers to come.
In our year they will mainly be yellow, because my somewhat color blinded eyes can see yellow with the intensity that I imagine most people can see all colors.
If you look closely, you can see the leaves of what others call "weeds," which will produced beautiful flowers in several weeks.
