A lot of our snow melted yesterday. It isn't all gone yet....there's still a lot of snow in the woods and in the shaded areas......but a lot has melted. The down side of that is how dreary everything looks without that beautiful, pristine white snow. Brown grass, dormant shrubs, mud and slush everywhere.....yuck!
The bright spot is the crocuses! These beautiful yellow and purple blooms have popped up from the snow, and the daffodils are beginning to appear. Yellow and purple.....the colors of spring! These hardy little plants bring with them the promise of spring, the promise of better days soon to come. Thank God for the promise of spring! (Is that a song lyric? It sounds as though it should be!) Seeing those beautiful purple and yellow blossoms gives me hope that winter is soon going to be only a memory. Spring.....flowers, green grass, leaves on the trees again, warm sunshine.....definitely something to look forward to!
I think we may have more hints of spring in the next few days. The weatherman is promising sunshine and spring-like temperatures. I wonder if this is the real deal or just a tease?
