Hope of Spring.

What happened to winter?   ArcaneSpark has her birthday early in January, when we look back over the photos of her parties as a child the garden was invariably snow covered.   This winter we have hardly had a frost let alone snow.

Wandering round Kanyl's garden I noticed his Rhododendron has flower buds on the end of each branch.  Tightly wrapped up just in case winter does arrive but ready and waiting.  So are we.
