Optimism

Yesterday, our lawn was covered in snow and frozen solid. Then, last night in a big wind-storm and heavy rains, the temperature shot up to thirteen-point-something (uhh, that's like 55 degrees F.). And these guys appeared. Too bad, because already, by mid-afternoon, the temperature is just above freezing and tonight it'll be minus seven (about twenty F).

It'll be a few more weeks yet before the snowdrops get their flowers pollinated.
