My snowdrops used to be very late because they are planted near the porch and are always under the huge mound of snow that comes off the roof, but this year the newly planted ones are in a spot that clears of snow earlier. <br />Julie, I couldn't resist photographing the warm compost.<br />thanks for the Equinox wishes, Maggie.Altoon Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743040814034732581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-79326164912405419012011-03-21T09:05:13.716-04:002011-03-21T09:05:13.716-04:00We had snowdrops a few weeks ago: my husband email...We had snowdrops a few weeks ago: my husband emailed pix to me in Guatemala so I wouldn't miss the moment.

I saw 2 points of daffodils break through the ground today. My snow drops are probably up under the snow. They are capable of breaking through the crust of snow...so delicate, yet so fierce in their determination to be.<br />Happy Equinox, Altoon.Maggie Nealehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06793869416867166254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-25955954998884167602011-03-20T21:08:45.901-04:002011-03-20T21:08:45.901-04:00It is a very magical time, Hannah.

Somehow--even more exciting coming through the snow. Here in CA, I've been delighting in the appearance of the redbuds and tiny oxblood colored buds of the Japanese maple.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09461148136578592965noreply@blogger.com
