It's exciting to see the changes, though our weather is nasty and cold again so I haven't checked in a few days.

Not sure if I would rather have the blanket grey and mild temps back!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640322232670777125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798548726043864530.post-75668435202595470392011-01-19T09:43:22.653+00:002011-01-19T09:43:22.653+00:00Hi Janet,

The snowdrops are around a month earlier than last year. I just don't understand it, even with all the deep snow we had and freezing temperatures for around a month. Yet, here they are!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640322232670777125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798548726043864530.post-84137969280658142592011-01-19T09:42:59.443+00:002011-01-19T09:42:59.443+00:00Hi Carol,
