Even in the Deep South we have had a cold, dark, and icy winter. Today the temperature is in 60s with more to come this week. I know winter is not over...but I am watching every dark green cluster of my snowdrops with great anticipation. These little beauties are my favorite!FireLighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807248509319526615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-82179855732335777612011-02-15T09:02:37.521-08:002011-02-15T09:02:37.521-08:00There's no sign of Spring here in Chicago...bu...There's no sign of Spring here in Chicago...but I'm keeping a stiff upper lip!!maryelizabethrochehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09888247853465505358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-69207610173446917202011-02-15T08:20:30.838-08:002011-02-15T08:20:30.838-08:00Glad you are all noticing sings of Spring - sadly ...Glad you are all noticing sings of Spring - sadly here it has now turned very cold again.
