Snow Flakes are rising

"With continued unseasonably warm temps the first Leucojum vernum ssp
carpaticum are up and blooming. These often emerge from the ground
with the flower in the foremost....Also emerging are L. 'Gertrude
Wister' also flower first, yet
not quite open."

Hi Jim:

This seems like the ideal moment to trot out this quote from Gertrude
Wister: "The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in
our hearts well out of proportion to their size."

True dat.
