shards of black,
soft white frilling,
miniature blossom,
small curls and puffs,
slivers of light from the shattering buds
new beginnings,
Spring set free.

I can't promise pearls of wisdom
or a guide to self-improvement
but this is our life
as we live it.

A Self Indulgent List

I have always wondered what blackthorn blossom looks like.
Now I know. And have beautiful words to accompany the image.
the petals are like paper
Goodness me, that's early. Or am I thinking of hawthorn? Oh well, pretty anyway! We're still enjoying drifts of miniature narcissi. My hellebores were a complete disappointment this year and are going to get themselves dug up if they're not careful. No room in my tiny garden for anything that isn't pulling its weight!
I was just having a look-see at all of the emerging buds in my garden. Hmmm . . Spring is a wonderful feeling, isn't it?
So beautiful! And so far ahead of our gardens - we just got another big snowfall last night and this morning.
I should have added: Beautiful words, too, Alice! Very special - thanks for sharing that with us.
