Community, Crocus & Fund Raisers

Along the Way
There is good food out there at community fund raisers. Check your local newspaper event calender for the information. Ordering may be required. Take out is often an option at the sit down meals.

The local meals I've ordered are wonderful, good portions as well.

The better weather of spring is pushing up color, crocus grape hyacinths. A walk this time of year has a unique feeling of renewal. New flowers through soil or mulch have a dermination to want to see the sunshine as much as we do. Seasonal vibes can encourage energy from flowers, and from us.

Clearing away branches I put near the bird seed for cover, I found dark purple crocus already blooming. I was so busy, I didn't stop to take photos. 

The picture above was taken along the sidewalk when I was out and about. 

I expect to do more raking and planter arranging soon. Ambient temperatures of 70°F plus are the weather forecast here in Vermont this week.

  1. I think those community meals, some club based, some church, went away during the pandemic. Around here I don't think they've returned. We don't have newspapers with local events listed. I wonder if an online search might find me something? Hmmmm. Thanks.

  3. Liz,
    I hope you find an event calendar source.
    Pandemic closed community events here as well. I am glad they are back. The volunteer folks that run them are always happy and welcoming. It is like showing up for a party.

  5. Love seeing that beautiful crocus! There just might be some here in the next few days if the weather continues to be above freezing.
    Go easy on the raking - not only for the sake of your body but also the bees who overwinter in the leaf cover on the ground.

  7. Maryanne,
    Thank you. I didn't know about bees.
    It is good there aren't many leaves to rake.

  10. We've been in the 70's all week - was shocked to find it hit 80 here today. Pretty dry, though, so very comfortable. I'm actually looking forward to a return to the 50's for a few days. It will be hot and humid here soon enough.
