In a Nearby Yard, a Grape Hyacinth Fends Off and Stays Poised Amongst the Ice Crystals (3/30/08)

When I woke up this morning and went to retrieve the Sunday paper from the front porch, I was greeted with shiny crystals which formed in patches in the surrounding mulch beds.

Some cooler temperatures arrived this weekend, I suppose Winter doesn’t want to leave without a small fight. Come to think of it, when does it ever leave easily?

But, like this grape hyacinth, I choose to remain steadfast in my belief that Spring is here and we’ll be basking in the sunshine once again in no time.
