These buds and bulbs are hardy aren’t they! It seems the closer it gets to spring the colder this last bit of winter feels to me. Old bones😊. A nice write, Victoria.

I am surprised a the resilience of the bulbs…the mini iris still blooms.
And if just a tad bit of warm were to arrive the daffodils would burst.
I, however – shiver. 🙂
