Daffodils and Snow


Miniature daffodils in bloom on a sunlit grave in the old cemetery.

This morning I woke up to more snow on the ground (compared to the evening before), and outdoors temperature of around -9'C. But the sun was now shining, and in the afternoon, the streets were snow-free again, even if the lawns still mostly white. 

Going for a walk around the the old cemetery nearby, I observed that most of the gravel/sand graves were bare, while most of those with grass growing on them were still covered with snow. Not quite all of them though, which puzzled me a bit. Somehow it did not seem to be all about light vs shadow either.

 



 

Neither in the cemetery nor closer to home was it a good day to sit down on a bench to ponder about it, though!

  4. The miniature daffies are at their best right now around here, too. We‘ve been having frosty nights and cold days as well, but not as cold as -9C, and no snow.
