Spring Will Come, And Nature Smile Again.











"Fled now the sullen murmurs of the North,
The splendid raiment of the Spring peeps forth
."
Not quite,
but soon, I trust.

  3. As Shelley's put it
    "If winter comes
    Can spring be far behind"
    So subtle and charming.

  6. Oh yes Merisi, there are buds bursting on some of the trees, my crocus are beginning to flower and daffodils are in bud.
    We have high winds and snow forecast for tomorrow. Hope they all survive.
    Lorenzo.
