Winter's pulling back

11 Apr 2018 89
It is nearly mid-April but, in this place, that fact doesn't necessarily mean winter's grip is loosening much. There's still lots of frost in the ground. Just the same, a few days of sun and a degree or two above freezing will soften the top soil layers and -- whoosh! -- the snowdrops are up. This was in our front yard yesterday afternoon. There's been a blow-about of snow most days so far this month, and there's a frost forecast every night for the weather-foreseeable future. Nonetheless, the snowdrops are healthy.
