When The Crocuses Bloom

in

So, we were hit with a foot of snow the other day... Much better than a tsunami.

Even though we're OVER it, it really was beautiful. (This is the side of our house.)

And proper perspective keeps things beautiful as well, no?

By this time of year, Winter's just posing anyway. (The back garden and garage.)

It's desperate - grasping at straw, or at least at twigs, berries and branches... (One of eight holly bushes lining the backyard.)

And even though I'm ready for the weather to break...

The silence and peacefulness of Winter is always welcome to my ears... (The garage and pond.)

But, in the end... (Buddha's head peaking out of the snow in the marble niche, keeping watch over the koi.)

Spring always wins.

Always.
