spring haze
The snow has melted and left behind the first whisper of spring: snowdrops!
Snowdrops enchant me. They push up every winter, and grow thick green leaves that are impermeable to frost. Unfreezable! Isn’t nature magical?
Once they’ve decided it’s warm enough, nothing stops them. They blossom regardless, in spring sunshine or under two feet of snow. It’s a life-plan I can relate to!
In the next few weeks they will double, grow from these scattered clumps into great swathes of snowy-white blossoms. I love them even more then, but right now I’m just happy to see their pretty little faces, and remember that spring is on her way!
