#Spring is nearly here. Last week, there was plenty of snow in the #backyard Now, the wild crocuses are peaking up through the lawn. And, the snowdrops too. Next, the forsythia will bloom, the canes are showing some color and plenty of buds. I clipped a few branches and brought inside to force them so we can enjoy early color. I love this time of year. Whenever I think how much I'd like to move because the property is high maintenance, I'm remember how much I enjoy it. I have no illusions, nobody else will care for it like I do and nature will soon reclaim this little bit of eden. #gardening
