No matter what the sky does, fog, rain, snow, or cloud, the earth
turns and we have another day with its dark times and then its bursts
of incredible joy …
WEATHER OR NOT
I take rain 
from cupped leaves
and whisper of morning
the sun lures me
from my desk
to carol with showers
drumming against
roof and rain-barrel
so head tipped
I catch thunder
behind closed eyes
brush it over grass
and when I look
there’s a cascade
of snowdrops
A Bedroom of Searchlights’: poetry. This collection draws a picture of the poet’s divorced mother, an artist with two children, who struggled with poverty, war, and the realities of daily life, yet still found beauty and comfort in her garden, and her art. From Inanna Publications, 2016.

We have wonderful snowdrops in our Derbyshire garden at this time of the year. Best wishes, Antony

Our snowdrops are coming up but it will take another couple of weeks. We had
a very heavy snowfall which has delayed everything. But good to know that that they are up somewhere in this crazy world!
Yea! Thank you for the positive outlook, and reality of the beauty that surrounds us, whatever the weather. I do however prefer snow for the winter ;-(
Not sure that I prefer snow these days, our driveway is l-o-n-g!
