First Flowers

Our first snow storm since October is covering the ground as the first flowers are emerging. (Last year was a record 70" of snow. This year about 8".)

Snowdrops:


Daffodils on the way:


The first early crocus:


A neighbor's witch hazel. I'd love one of these in our yard.


Working in the yard and taking walks as the days lengthen is brightening my mood too.
