Not quite....

It seems that the cold hand of winter is loosening it's grip around us...

I spied my little batch of tiny snowdrops coming up...

Their small, nodding heads, so cautious but brave, coming out on a sunny afternoon...

And cautious they should be, because right behind the house, in the hills yesterday morning

was the real thing....fresh snow, only a short  distance from here.

But these little souls keep the faith that, yes, spring is on it's way.

I'll join them in their hopeful show and maybe even start some seeds in the greenhouse tomorrow.
