What a difference a month makes. A warm November and a later-than-expected frost (for zone 6b) combined for some fabulous blooms. But now, the cold December weather has set in and almost all the blooms are gone. Alas, I was able to find at least a few to share with all of you.

One way I get through December is to think that it won't be long till spring. Your snowdrop is a good sign.

Always Growing
Yes,(what Jan said) and soon now, the days will start getting longer.
We had the same conditions here in SE Nebraska, where right now, it is 2 degrees, after a high Saturday in the upper 50s. Brr!
I like your pics and post.
Those pictures remind me so much of my mother, thank you, I needed this today.
Thanks for joining in for bloom day. I can't believe your forsythia has a little bloom on it!

At least you found some little buds, blossoms and blooms:) I couldn't find any! Jan
