Yellow crocus

[pameladean]

The first crocuses are blooming. I always forget about them. They are the tiny, tiny snow crocuses, in very pale yellow. They pop up in the weedy sapling-infested rose bed amidst the soggy blown-in potato-chip bags every year. The next ones will be a blue so pale it is almost white, and then the gold and purple ones will show up.

Eric is coming to visit on Thursday, for a week and a day, which after six months is not remotely long enough, but it does look as if he will have a very good and fast-changing spring week to remind him that he actually does like Minneapolis.

I still have some intention of writing a report on Minicon.

Oh, have a lovely time with Eric. When I'm reminded how long it is between your visits, I feel downright churlish for complaining when I don't get to see johnpalmer more often.

Aw, thanks.

Usually we manage a long visit every three months, but financial and other considerations (his mother broke her shoulder in January and he's been her primary caretaker) have caused us to put off our plans repeatedly.

Long distance is still rotten, whether the separation is one month or six.

sometimes you have to be "just friends" because it hurts too much to be more.

if you can maintain a long distance relationship with joy, it is a good thing.

Oh, lordy. Six months is way too long for me already. I hope you guys have a grand time.

we're pretty much ok with this -- we're very good at the LDR thing; maybe even better than we would be if we lived in the same place.

but it'll be wonderful to hang out together again. thanks for your good wishes!

I just found this, so I guess you've been enjoying Eric for this good week.

(I wanted to see what was up in your garden, but I see you're busy. I'll just look at the crocuses.

See my star flowers? I guess that's what they are. They look like stars, anyway.)
