Finally. We got a couple inches of snow last night. Looks like it will melt in the next few days.

Slave to a springtime passion for the earth.
How Love burns through the Putting in the Seed
On through the watching for that early birth
When, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,
The sturdy seedling with arched body comes
Shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs.

It has been such a strange winter. December was very mild...I just hope this doesn't mean that Mother Nature is going to cram the equivalent of the rest of winter into a shorter time period!

Very pretty and not too much, thankfully. Hope the Gnome has a warm coat seeing as he is busy out there!

Three days of deep snow, then gone. And the plants seem to think it's spring...
