Winter continues... for a while

Snow is back...with only a few days until the Spring Equinox.
I spotted these clouds a day or so ago...


But bulbs are struggling up through the top soil, regardless and signs of a change are in the air.
We are hoping that the kitchen cabinets will be installed this week. Fingers crossed.

Here are the lovely snowdrops from a few days ago, now with nearly another 2 inches of snow on top of them...yet, still they are harbingers of spring, of new life, of the will to push through from the cold and dark, towards the light...





They are growing just opposite this rock garden, which has given me daily pleasure and opportunity for reflection since we moved to the cottage. It is quite wonderful to have these shapes cast shadows, hold light, define space in such a subtle, yet extraordinarily constant manner.

Both of us love this meditative garden idea so much, that we have asked our landscape designer to incorporate the concept into the new house...at present,it will be a meditation garden that unites the front of the house, the area of garden just outside the gallery, and then it will continue and become a part of the back garden as well...one continual expression of itself, but with slightly different forms, sculptures and plantings....

All very exciting...all becoming very real, as though waking from a dream...
