Snow Drops At The Equinox

This year, in Indiana, our Snow Drops were almost three weeks late in blooming because we had so much snow on the ground for so long. I can always count on Snow Drops for Valentine's Day, but these popped their heads up through the melting snow on March 4th! That works out for me, because they will be here for the Vernal Equinox this coming Sunday, March 21.

Have you seen Jack-In-The-Green?
With his long tail hanging down
He quietly sits under every tree
in the folds of his velvet gown.
He drinks from the empty acorn cup
the dew that dawn sweetly bestows
And taps his cane upon the ground
Signals the Snowdrops it's time to grow.

And, along with the Snowdrops, we have a special visitor from Denmark who wants his "momma" Mette to know that he is having a wonderful time!

"Hello! I'm really here!"

"And I have my own Muffler for Chilly Days!"

's time to grow.
