Hope Springs Eternal




Having spent a couple of weeks being warmed by the sun, eating  deliciously prepared  food and being surrounded by some lovely people, we returned tired from a long flight feeling slightly dispirited. Our taxi turned into the drive and a wonderful sight met us. Snowdrops had sprung up all over the front lawn during our absence. A sure sign spring is on the way. I always see their nodding heads as little beacons of hope. Life is good isn't it?

    I'm glad you enjoyed your vacation--I was wondering where you were! The snowdrops are beautiful! We are still buried in snow here, but it is raining today, so only a few months to wait for flowers.

    I've seen two blogs with snowdrops in past five minutes so looks like spring is definitely in the air!
