Snow on the rosy dogwood buds this morning. I can't imagine they were very pleased with the snow nor will be with the frigid temps soon to arrive. February snow is not unusual, but oh, I am ready for Spring! 🪴

Things I have appreciated in this day:

* The sweet pink of the cyclamen on my windowsill contrasting with the still brown garden beyond

* The rush of wind in the treetops and the rain peppering my face when I walked the dogs out in the field.... and a warm coat
