I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”

Seeing Some Early Spring Green

On February 8 and 9th, my area of the country experienced a blizzard that left snow in amounts that broke records. We received over 30" of snow! Since that blizzard, daytime temperatures have remained above freezing. Little by little the huge piles of snow began to melt. It isn't totally gone yet, but enough of it is that I can see some perennials showing signs of life. How delightful!
