Now Melt

The heavy snow stayed south. Thank you. Another three inches was added to the pile here. All that snow does make my future tree and shrub border more visible while it is still small. During the Lush of summer it is next to invisible.

Soft fluffy mounds cover the cold stone truth beneath.

The Fothergilla twigs have grown.

The impervious Witch Hazels bloom on.

Ramp heads poke through the snow.

Now melt! I really do not want to have to shovel the driveway next door. It was bad enough the road grader that went by left an extra big scoop of snow at the end of the drive by the road. Why did he have to put the excess there?

Next week is looking warmer. Highs in the 50's with rain.

And then more rain.

The snow will melt. I will go back to work. I may even work in the rain just to get caught up. A red bicycle will be hung in the trees where that opening is in front of the red telephone pole. One more object to puzzle and frighten the travelers along the scenic byway.

Enough with the snow. Now melt!

Think spring. Think warm. Think crocus and daffodils. Think green.
