the snowdrops are blooming! they’re several weeks too early; this winter has been ominously warm. i’m concerned about the climate & curious how the spring will go. even so, i can’t wait for the crocuses to bloom

so did the daffodils, the periwinkles, some smaller cherry trees, & the forsythia. everything is very far ahead of schedule. i’m seeing magnolias starting to bloom & tulips about to open, even some early azaleas. i am worried, but still looking forward to the grape hyacinths
