Welcome sign

It may be only earlyJanuary but this solitary snowdrop in our garden is the first sign of encouraging times ahead.
Admittedly Spring is still a long way off, but snowdrops bursting through and a host of daffodils looking set to follow not far behind, brings the prospect of Spring days that much closer. We still have an outdoor geranium in flower so I suppose we must acknowledge that even plants are a trifle confuses as to the seasons.
But this tiny snowdrop raises my expectations for the warmer more temperate days being only just round the corner.
