Spring Keeps Marching On - And Do You Read Cursive?

Tomorrow is Garden Bloggers Bloom Day, where gardeners from all over the world post what is blooming in their worlds.  But today, history needs your help.

Flowers first.

This crocus in my front yard won't make it.  I only had four come up this year and three flowers were shredded by winds we had all week.

Here in upstate New York, on my off day from the Blogging from A to Z Challenge, I am enjoying every moment of spring - the days spring shows up, that is.

Today is not one of those days.  But yesterday was, and I headed out with my spouse to Cutler Botanical Gardens in Binghamton, New York to check spring out.

These trees, which may be maples, normally have small red flowers.  This year they are so big the trees almost can rank as a flower ornamental.

With the arrival of spring, we say goodbye to these yellow and red twigged dogwoods.  Once they leaf out, the colors will not be distinctive.

But hello daffodils.

Hello other spring bulbs.

Before I leave, hello blooming shrub.

Tomorrow a two-fer for you - my Music Move sMe and AtoZ Challenge "M" post (combined) and my Garden Bloggers Bloom Day post.

And now for the help needed.  Do you read cursive?  If you do, the Library of Congress and the National Archives need your help.  This is so amazing I have to share this article from a Michigan newspaper.

After all there are thousands of historical documents out there and new generations (including my son's) that can not read cursive.

Preserving history is up to my generation and maybe yours.

Can you help?
