Garden Report

Yesterday we had a few inches of snow on the ground. I took some early morning photos - Snowdrops and Winter Aconite poking through the snow. Today the temp is 63 degrees at 1:30 in the afternoon. I came back to the same patches of flowers and watched bees gathering nectar and pollen. The pussy willows are also fluffing out. I may cut some in a few days to bring indoors.
