It was only right that your snowdrops opened today.

It was a special day – or so it seemed to me.

Nature was certainly telling me something…I hope some of that came across in my garbled poem.

Connection to nature really does make us alive. My northeast US garden is so far behind those of the two of you, but already I’m scrutinizing everything. And as if on cue my snowdrops opened today!

We have had some severe frosts in South East England but, as far as I can see no damage.

Even the evergreen clematis which I rather cruelly planted as an experiment.

I seemed to have survived the worst of the frosts too – so far!

I want to know all about that garden by the way as the seasons progress.

Thanks so much for your posting.

I’ve got a bank of tiny lilac crocuses that turn into stars when the sun hits them!
My daffodils won’t be long now and I can see that at least some of the tulips I planted last autumn have survived the deep water-logging that my garden had over the winter.
As for the shrubs, it never takes long, does it? I’ve got some serious budding on the opportunistic flowering currant that turned up unannounced a couple of years ago and the hope of some pretty Japonica blossom in a month or so at a guess.

Spring does bring hope, doesn’t it? As we don’t get prolonged or severe frosts down this way this year I’ll be looking for the ‘survivors’, some of the more tender plants who were caught unexpectedly by the harshness this time.

I’ll be looking out for you too 😉
