a few hours, while I'm waiting at the bus stop, I'll take some shots of the
stuff poking above the snow.

Mostly, things are covered by damp leaves but there are signs of life.
For example I just noticed that the salmon-colored honeysuckle has just
thrown a couple of new flowers. An antique rose I'm trying to preserve
still has green leaves on it. And I saw some sort of very low growing
weed beside the front walk with a tiny yellow flower on it. I wouldn't
be surprised to see the periwinkle start blooming if this keeps up for
much longer. Oh, and I noticed that some of my ferns out back are still
hanging in there although the more tender ones like the "Japanese
painted" have died back normally. If I start seeing crocus and hyacinth
popping up I don't know what I'll do.
