Yesterday’s snowdrops lie . . .
under a snow drop.
Yesterday’s field of elegant beige . . .
lies buried beneath a frosted blue haze.
Yesterday’s patchwork . . .
now shimmers in silver.
Yesterday’s stillness . . .
is shattered by birdsong.
Yesterday’s growth . . .
awaits the next thaw.
Spring’s early glimmer . . .
is winter’s last shimmer.
Spring has sprung on the prairie!
Have you found it?

Hi Julie, Still snow covered today but 60 tomorrow!! Can’t wait to get my hands in the dirt. I wish I had a ‘Bill’ at my place to help with the results of my over zealous planting. Love your beautiful New Zealand (yes, I remember) crops.
