Signs of life

I haven't any photos to back this up but yesterday, walking along a main road, I spied my first signs of new life almost hidden in the verge. Bundles of splindly stems emerging from the earth, some topped with almost open daffodils looking fragile yet defiant, like tiny ballet dancers - all legs and a shining face.

We've got overnight frosts again this week and I've been walking around my garden in the vain hope of finding some new growth so to see that promise of Spring (although still too early) was a delight. Having planted hundreds of Spring bulbs in later Autumn it'll soon hopefully be a crowd pleaser in my borders.And then the promise of lighter nights and..., Summer! Bliss.
