This morning when I went out to get the newspaper, I noticed a little bit of green poking up from the ground. So I bent over and started looking closely at all the places I’d planted bulbs last Thanksgiving and found a snowdrop in bloom! My friend who shared her bulb order with me last fall had some snowdrops bloom a couple of weeks ago, so I have been looking out for them whenever I am outdoors in daylight (not often enough) and I am very happy not to have missed my first one!
Flowers and coming home from work when it is still light out are things I look forward to every spring!

As of this weekend, we have 4 or 5 snowdrops coming up and blooming! Plus there are other green things poking up, and I don’t know what they are yet. I did not keep track of which kind of bulb went where when I was planting.
