The first snowdrop

19. The first snowdrop

One thin white petal emerges from shy green.
I check every day,
want proof of a new season coming closer,
but it still looks the same.

Isn't it interesting....how time moves....sometimes achingly slow and at others times, the speed of light!
Lovely words.

Hi Patti. Thanks. Yes, I'm fascinated by how time seems to play tricks. While the rest of my days seem to whizz by, waiting for this snowdrop to open seems be going on and on.

Nice how you caught how change is hard to see. (Speaking of not seeing something -sorry about sending two comments on your last post!I missed that is was waiting for blog owner approval...)

Hi teri. Thanks. I'm just seeing if I can spot that snowdrop from the window. No. Will have to go outside and check again!!
