I love the budding hellebores and all your other flowers. This has been a long winter; we just had another few inches of snow today, but I think it won't be too much longer before we are done with it. (Another month, maybe.) I haven't seen any deer around here lately; I hope they don't dine on any of your flowers. Thank you for sharing a breath of spring with me!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-46277193054123862302011-03-07T01:57:07.688-05:002011-03-07T01:57:07.688-05:00Hi Pam, it's good you are now finished with wi...Hi Pam, it's good you are now finished with winter, and the beautiful spring flowers are appearing.

Our great garden blogging friends who are the only ones who will appreciate the photo we take of something barely peeking through the soil and probably has weeds surrounding it to make it even worse - mine anyway. LOL Only they would love this picture knowing something new will grow and mature and we look forward to the next picture.<br />The deer looks so content - as much as we love them and their beauty I get so nervous knowing they are comfortable enough to bed down on our property to wait for the next meal. Guess they want to be first in line for the salad bar!

And thank you dear Pam for an enchanting post, collecting together our Spring blooming blotanists. This has been the darkest winter apparently here in the South-East of the UK and so I find relief in your charming teapot daffs. <br />Laura xLaura Bloomsburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03163589497828975276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-66709597155054557782011-03-03T10:58:16.476-05:002011-03-03T10:58:16.476-05:00Carolyn - Yes, you are right - my snowdrops are Ga...Carolyn - Yes, you are right - my snowdrops are Galanthus woronowii. I bought them because they are very early ones and I need 'early' here.<br /><br />Jan - I am so sorry you are feeling 'down'. You can see from the comments above that we are all so tired of winter. Thank you for your kind wishes. I am sorry to say I have another hospitalization scheduled for March 14. Hopefully, the last. My cardiologist, my family, and I have come to the realization that meds don't work for my heart rhythm condition, so we have decided to try Atrial Fib ablation. It is a bit risky, especially at my age, but I cannot continue like this - going into the hospital every couple of weeks to be paddled/shocked back into normal rhythm. It is wonderful to know my blogging friends, including you, are rooting for me.

I studied Wordsworth in an English class and have always enjoyed many of his writings. Usually I cite his 'Daffodils' poem around this time of year. I've never read his poem about Snowdrops...thanks for introducing it to me;-) Speaking of which, I've just ordered my first-ever Snowdrops from Carolyn (above) and they should be arriving any day now. I'm excited to have some to plant in my garden and am glad I can associate a poem with those, too;-) Yay for Romantic poetry;-)Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-34795349026101524152011-03-03T07:46:02.253-05:002011-03-03T07:46:02.253-05:00Beautiful, Pam.

My post was written with much difficulty as I've just been feeling so 'blah' lately and trying to sound positive is really difficult for me right now. Being 'thankful for today' is a real effort and more work than I can manage at times! I know we are heading into spring and fortunately 'knowledge is power' but oh, it doesn't always help with my 'feelings'! And I feel kind of guilty for complaining because there you are with snow (!) and Jodi (way up in Nova Scotia) still has 3 feet of it (!) and ours is all melted! But it still feels like winter here...in the 20's here this morning...and I'm just sick of it! Anyway, thanks for the mention and thanks for your friendship, as well. I am hoping you are not going to have to make any more hospital trips again anytime in the near (or distant) future;-)Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-38751074662644038612011-03-03T07:10:48.706-05:002011-03-03T07:10:48.706-05:00Pam, Thank you so much for linking to my post on C...Pam, Thank you so much for linking to my post on Christmas rose hellebores.
