I have been so busy lately (I had to present my thesis exposé yesterday), I have not had the time and peace of mind to leave my desk long enough for a hike in the woods.

There's nothing like that proliferation of snowdrops up this way yet.

Interesting that it truly has been a gloomy two months, that its not just in our collective imaginations. Daffodils and crocuses help but for all the "paving of flowers" I so long for a sunny day.

It took me twice as long to drive back from Boston to Maine through heavy rain, sleet, hail and then snow. We arrived home to six unplowed inches in the driveway. <br /><br />A tumble in the grass was just what I needed after shoveling – thank you! Nothing beats an English spring and your gorgeous images are a pure delight. I can almost feel the sunlight radiating from my screen. I don’t suppose you’d trade some snowdrops for the real stuff?Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-484915268092812945.post-67169735369364739322011-02-25T21:51:30.265+00:002011-02-25T21:51:30.265+00:00I took tea outside yesterday.
