Crocus .. or Croci? by maggiemae

Crocus .. or Croci?

Its true - these are croci! Dear little flowers just poking their heads above the ground. If I didn't take a photo we would never appreciate their simple beauty!
Thankful for:
A man who came to clean the gutters with a fancy machine. He still needed a ladder and confiding in John that he had fallen off twice! First time, one leg broken: 2nd time - the other! I did check on him constantly!
Very sweet..

I'd say crocuses it sounds prettier than croci although both are correct.

Ladders are deadly. My nephew was working on renovating his house and fell of the ladder, fractured three ribs. While he was out of action his partner thought she could do the job just as well and also fell off the ladder, fractured her leg, knee cap, tore tendons in her fingers and fractured her wrist. She is still having surgery.

When they phoned us to tell us of their woes David said 'I think I would get a better ladder' Typical engineers response.

@onewing John had his big accident with a ladder last year - took three months to heal the 40 stitches he had! He is actually very careful now and gets me to hold the ladder.

Ahhh, good to see someone who knows how to use Latin plurals. I thought I was the only pedant who noticed stuff like that. Apart from Ethel @ethelperry, of course.

@golftragic A bit like hippopotamus - the plural of - "i"!

@maggiemae Ahh yes, but not in the case of octopus which, I believe is from the Greek 'octopous', hence octopuses.
August 22nd, 2020  
@golftragic Its almost like 'octopussies"? Sounds like a James Bond film!

Man invented the ladder but they seem to be incompatable.
Croci are beautiful. The first signs of Spring.
