the sign of snowdrops


Discovered this wee beauty in the winter lilacs hedge today. Alongside many more hassocks of snowdrops. As much as I love the sign of spring I have to say this just makes me sad, because the time and nature are so clearly out of joint. Spring on these latitudes should still be at least a month away. And just the other week it was about -10C. Now suddenly the snow has melted, it rains a lot and the temperature varies around +1-5C.

And still too many people just keep on living, shopping, eating, travelling like they've always lived, shopped, eaten and travelled...

The sign of too early snowdrops.

They are beautiful. And the world is out of step here too. Rather a lot of trees have already dropped their leaves...

I saw the first daffodils peeking out of the soil the other day. Last year, they didn't appear until May! It's a very weird winter for sure.
