"look mommy k!" my daughter sofia said to me yesterday, with great excitement, as we walked around the block on a beautiful near spring day in boulder. "the very first dandelion of the season!"

my first ruby giant crocus bloomed today. at least 100 more will follow. it was a warm march 2nd today in boulder. this will be their second spring in my little rock garden. bulbs are the coolest thing. i just can't get over how they sit in the garden all year long and then suddenly break ground and pop up in such tremendous beauty. and then they just fade away, as if they had never happened.
