Shadow Shot Sunday / Mellow Yellow Monday

Lawnicure

I cut my grass today (Sunday.)  I don't believe I have ever cut the grass in March, until now.  And seldom has my lawn ever been in such dire need of cutting.

In case the little knob on my mower is insufficient yellow, here are our daffodils.

Early Spring brings warmth

And yard chores ahead of time

In brilliant sunlight

Sensational Haiku Wednesday - Battle

BATTLE

Giving away clothes
That don't fit. I'm fighting the
Battle of the Bulge.

Shadow Shot Sunday - Mellow Yellow Monday

The same clump of yellow crocuses (croci?) as last week, now with their purple companion.  I took this shot on Wednesday.  Now, they are all wilting.  The purple bud is done, but another came up to replace it.

No extra charge for the little honey bee in their midst.

Such ephemeral blooms

Who shine in their brief beauty:

 A lesson in life.

Six Word Saturday

Seeing two granddaughters on stage today:

Amanda in her school's Jazz Blowout,

Rebekka performing in The Music Man.

I played a concert last night

Grandson Danny's band competed on Friday

What a big musical activity weekend!

OH -- and happy St Patty's Day!

Shadow Shot Sunday/Mellow Yellow Monday

This clump of yellow crocuses always blooms too soon.

Tiny, bright-headed 

Heralds of Spring, casting their

Shadow, short and brief

Six Word Saturday

I have a really awful cold

First one like this in years

Now I'm going back to bed

Sensational Haiku Wednesday - Nature

Nature

I just took a walk

In warm bright sunshine.  The wind

Howled like a banshee 

Seriously - I had to hang on to my hat!
