Spring

Hello snowdrops
What a big difference in one week.

The land – March 7

We went to the land today.  It was 45 degrees outside.
It is still a little frozen out there.

I expected the pond to be more thawed out, but the ice is thick.

The vegetable garden is under icy snow.
But if you look up:

The silver maple flower buds are swelling.

Still Winter

I went outside yesterday looking for signs of spring in the backyard.
I got nothin’.   The ground is frozen solid an inch and a half down.
