SOL 2019 -- Day 27 -- Taking time to smell the crocuses


SOL story challenge, March 2019
Day 27 -- "Taking Time To Smell the Crocuses"
*****************


We finally got a beautiful, slightly-warmer-than-average, sunny, blue-skied day here in Central Ohio today. It was the kind of day that you wish EVERY day could be during a March spring break in Ohio. (Ha! If only....)

Taking advantage of the nice weather, I decided to clean out the inside of my car...which needed it badly. But first, I wanted to get some pictures of my crocus flowers. The flowers have been in bloom for a while now, but most days recently they've been staying closed up because of the lack of sunshine and warmth. Or on days when they HAVE been open, I haven't been around at the right time to see them open. But today, we had the sunshine and the warmth, and the flowers were wide open and beautiful, and I was around to see them. So, of course, I had to get some pictures:



                       
         
This is the one where I accidentally knelt on a colony of ants 
while getting this picture....I have a knack for that. ;-)



               
     

      




Then, after I had enjoyed gazing at those beauties for quite a while.... well, then it was on to the car cleaning:



 



...With intermittent breaks to sit on the glider on my front porch to enjoy my view:






It IS spring break, after all!  :-)

  1. LOVE the crocus pics! And the thought of you sitting on the porch in your glider just enjoying the view. Spring Break needs time for days like this.

  2. After a big snowstorm last week, and three days of warm weather this week, our crocuses are out. Like you, I'm loving these signs of spring! Now if I could just get motivated to clean out the car!
