Bare

We woke to vibrant blue skies on Sunday morning. The tree was looking very stately, airing its bare branches in the winter sun.

On a little stroll around the garden, considering what winter pruning jobs need to be done, I spotted a lone snowdrop poking its head out, also enjoying some winter sun. Seeing the first flowers of the year coming into bloom is so delightful.

It feels very early to see the plants and flowers budding, but it has been remarkably warm this last few weeks. I think we are in for a cold spell now though, let’s hope it doesn’t catch all the little early buds out.
