My First Snowdrop of 2017

It will not be the last!
 
This morning it was frosty, but not quite as cold as it has been these last few days.
 
I did some work with students, but spent much of the day ‘Spring’ cleaning, even though it is still January. Pictures of cleaning do not make much of a picture, so today’s picture is of a badly battered, trodden on (by deer?) and eaten Snowdrop. I have been looking in the garden daily for the Winter Aconites, which often appear before the Snowdrops, but they are nowhere to be seen. This Snowdrop is often the first one to flower and is one of those placed on my Splodge’s grave.

Many thanks everyone for your comments and the stars and hearts on yesterday’s airborne squirrel.
