Spring is just weeks away......

I'm not really a winter person but I love Spring with new life starting all around - I love the bulbs starting to sprout shoots and then snowdrops, aconites, and then crocuses. It all means Spring is coming and Spring means hope - hope that the first warm sunny days will come soon, hope that we'll soon see the first hints of green in distant trees , and hope that this year will not be as bad as world events last year suggest it will.
