Small snow flurries came and went during the day before, but nothing remained on the ground. The next morning provided a snow-covered landscape. The daffodils were bent over by the weight of the snow and a bunny had left tracks across the unbroken covering of the yard. It wasn't only the snow had fallen during the night, the temperatures had dropped also. Ice needed scrapped from the windshield before the car could be used.
I always worry about the flowers which have
already bloomed but really I shouldn’t. They always manage to survive these
brief bits of winter; it is part of their make-up. The snow will only remain
for a day or two and soon the temperatures will be rising again. More flowers
will be popping up to join the early risers.
After Church, I took a drive down near the
railroad tracks, looking for interesting shots. In the back of my head, I was hoping a train might show up but nothing appeared. There were no trains to be seen this
morning.
I walked along the stream looking for the herons
but they were elsewhere, possibly they had seen me and left. Near the swamp, a
pair of geese paddled around in the water but there weren’t any other signs of
wildlife. It was cold and quiet.
Today, I’ll enjoy the looks of winter
this brief snowfall has brought. I know it will soon be gone and the colors of
spring will be surrounding us once again.
It isn’t only me waiting, so are the birds. They
are happy to visit the feeder in the backyard, but I’m sure they’re looking
forward to the return of Spring also.
