Winter white and a promise of Spring. . . . . . . . .

Hoping those of you who may still be digging out and trying to stay warm in

 your snow covered homes up north in the USA, Canada, and perhaps other

 far away places, will find some respite from the storms as you go about

 your weekend.

A small bird twitters on a leafless spray,

Across the snow-waste breaks a gleam of gold:

What token can I give my friend today

But February blossoms, pure and cold?

Frail gifts from Nature's half reluctant hand.....

I see the signs of Spring about the land.....

These chill snowdrops, fresh from wintry bowers,

Are forerunners of a world of flowers.

~ Sara Doudney, "Snowdrops (Consolation)," c. 1881 ~

Sending warm thoughts your way.
I don't have any snowdrops in bloom, but these daffodils are
 peeking out on a chilly but sunny morning here.
