What a difference 16 days makes !

Can it be real? the crocuses have bloomed

two weeks ago we had a foot of snow on the ground . . . .

and now but for a few patches its all nearly gone . . .

its been a long a cold one . . .

but just bellow the kitchen window . . .

where the sun hits hard . . . .

the flowers are sprouting out of the ground . . . .

life begins again . . .

must have been some hankie-pankie going on as the tag says they were supposed to be white . . . .
