Small Things Break Winter’s Hold

Small bloom
Today I just have to marvel at how Spring begins to raise its head and breaks Winter’s hold with the arrival of the small blooms of snowdrops and crocuses. So much promise in such little packages! They grow so close to the ground, you really have to seek them out. Isn’t it much better to awaken slowly in this way instead of with a more exuberant and jarring display?

I agree. Here in Wisconsin, I’ve always loved the way spring in March offers her bounty one item at a time. So much easier to notice and enjoy. Soon enough May’s blaring beauty will be overstimulating.

I love the word play – you do, after all, have some quite lovely “jarring” displays!
