First day of no-jacket-required weather

First day of no-jacket-required weather

Our crocuses bloomed about 10 days ago. I didn’t have time to take photos during that week or on Easter weekend. Now they are done. 🙁 Like the snowdrops (Galanthus), the Siberian squill (Scilla siberica) put on a really nice show this year. They peaked during the week so I don’t have the best photo. Fritillaria imperialis look strong so far. There’s no sign of the Fritillaria pallidiflora or purple grape hyacinth (muscari) yet. The forsythia are just starting to show flowers.

How is your garden?

I’m just amazed by SOAK aka Bridie Monds-Watson from Derry, Northern Ireland. It’s hard to believe she’s only 18 years old.

The teenage hope

Is an unguarded time

We’re trying hard

To make something of what we are

We’ll never mind

Did anything

Come on, come on

Come on, come on

Be just like me

Come on, come on

B a noBody

Come on, come on

Come on, come on

Be just like me

Come on, come on

B a noBody

You ring, you ring about the show

You’re bleeding

I watched, I saw you’re mindful

Out of your head

We came, cheap things

Risked it all for what you find

We’ll never mind

Did anything

(x2)

Come on, come on

Come on, come on

Be just like me

Come on, come on

B a noBody

Come on, come on

Come on, come on

Be just like me

Come on, come on

B a nobody

Sea Creatures by SOAK

Sea Creatures by SOAK

SOAK aka Bridie Monds-Watson from Derry, Northern Ireland is well beyond her 18 years of age. She sings with such powerful emotion. The lyrics are impressive too. I believe she wrote Sea Creatures when she was 16 years old.

The stars and moon remind me of you

I don’t know what to say

It might make you worse.

I don’t understand

What her problem is

I think she’s just a fish.

And now you get it back,

You don’t deserve this.

And I won’t put up

With their ignorance.

When they tell you

They love you,

Well, they don’t mean it.

I don’t think they know what they mean.

I don’t think they know what love is.

Throw it around like it’s worthless.

I don’t think they know what love is.

I don’t get this town.

Neither do you.

We should run away,

Just me and you.

Cause I don’t get the people here.

They’re curious.

They don’t really care.

Sea creatures interfere.

Wish they would disappear.

They don’t know what love is.

Throw it around like it’s worthless.

They don’t know what love is.

I pray for you, and you know I don’t like Jesus.

Want you to get better.

Please, please get better,

For you, for me.
