Snowdrops And Witch Hazels

I stayed home today because I could. Went next door to rake the paths of all the twiggy winter debris. The wind was blowing ahead of the storm.














Can you see them? This slope above the future Turnips Fields is loaded with snowdrops. Look close.











Snowdrops and logging machinery. A lot of trees came down on the land next door. The ridge top gardens will be bathed in a good deal more welcome morning sun. The view to Sandymush Bald is greatly improved.














The Turnip Fields are getting sunnier and tidier by the year. What will their future be? I am ready to plant some asparagus. Asparagus will survive falling trees.














Lower down the mountain the witch hazels are in bloom. The wind kept picking up force. I'll leave you here to wander, out there with the wind and the witches alone.

That lenten rose bloom color is fabulous!

It is a very rich color, like a cabernet wine in the sunshine.
