From Snow to Almost Spring

After the snow of Wednesday, the weather decided to moderate and I took a little walk.  

It was nice to see that the early flowers were persisting . . .

And at the edge of the woods, nettles were springing up. I'll let them get a little bigger before donning gloves and harvesting them for a spring cream of nettle soup.

A few trees are hazed with green . . .
And the trilliums are unfolding their trios of frog-speckled leaves.

The sedums are a lesson in resurrection . . .

And, at last, there are enough daffodils to pick a few for the house.
