Buttercup Brilliance

 6:45 am, Poppy View headquarters, orange skies just before sunrise.

  

 9:09: My feline ally, Prince Richard, the cat,
misses his wake up call for the day. So predictable.

 9:10: I leave him behind and head for the hills, as planned.

 You snooze, you lose.

 

 The Bermuda buttercups had arrived for their annual visit,

and I was curious to see how they were getting on

 with their hosts, the olive trees and grapevines.

9:49: Everything seemed harmoniously fine, from a distance.

10:15: A serene scene on a canvas of blue; a pretty, pastoral view.

10:34: Up close, it was evident that our generous hosts, 

indeed, had made the little buttercups feel at home, 

giving them plenty of space, in which to stretch and freely roam.

 11:58: At my garden gate, I am greeted with a yawn,

by a lazy companion I can never count on. Shameful.

Happy first day of March!

Spring Countdown

Spring: __ days, (and counting), to go...

Will flowers grow where there is snow? I sure hope so!
