One of the nice snow pictures I got during our last snowstorm in Kentucky.
A snow covered lawn with a red fire hydrant to the far left and a white building to the right in the foreground. In the middle is a medium sized evergreen tree with snow in it's branches. In the distance is a rock wall and several tall trees without leaves in front of some powerlines. The sky is cloudy and it appears as if the sky and ground are almost the same shade of white-gray.

Tiny little purple flowers, it's the time of year that I enjoy finding the small little flowers, it's nice to think about these little plants just existing when everything seems a little too much

Haha! Love this letter from Douglas Adams to his US editor about not Americanising the text of Hitchhiker's Guide. 🐋🌸
Date: Monday, January 13, 1992, 5:26 pm To: Byron Preiss Dear Byron, Thanks for the script of the novel. I don't know what happened to the first one. It may have been a victim of the office move (see above). I'll respond as quickly and briefly as possible. One general point. A thing I have had said to me over and over again whenever I've done public appearances and readings and so on in the States is this: Please don't let anyone Americanise it! We like it the way it is! There are some changes in the script that simply don't make sense. Arthur Dent is English, the setting is England, and has been in every single manifestation of HHGG ever. The 'Horse and Groom' pub that Arthur and Ford go to is an English pub, the 'pounds' they pay with are English (but make it twenty pounds rather than five- inflation) So why suddenly 'Newark' instead of 'Rickmansworth'? And 'Bloomingdales' instead of 'Marks & Spencer'? The fact that Rickmansworth is not within the continental United States doesn't mean that it doesn't exist! American audiences do not need to feel disturbed by the notion that places do exist outside the US or that people might suddenly refer to them in works of fiction. You wouldn't, presumably, replace Ursa Minor Beta with 'Des Moines'. There is no Bloomingdales in England, and Bloomingdales is not a generic term for large department stores. If you feel that referring to "Marks & Spencer' might seriously freak out Americans because they haven't heard of it (or because Marks and Spencer owns Brooks Brothers) we could either put warning stickers on the cover ("The text of this book contains references to places and institutions outside the continental United States and may cause offence to people who haven't heard of them") or you could, I suppose, put 'Harrods', which most people will have heard of. Or we could even take the appalling risk of just recklessly mentioning things that people won't have heard of and see if they survive the experience. They probably will - when people are born they haven't heard of anything or anywhere, but seem to get through the first few years of their lives without ill-effects.

A wise witch once told me that you have to make a little time for your magic. So do you have any plans for Ostara?! You could set up your altar like the goddess herself is coming to visit. And maybe perform a small yet powerful ritual to connect to the energy of the earth and set your intentions

“The World is very old;
But every Spring
It groweth young again,
And fairies sing…” - ‘Spring Magic’ by Cicely Mary Barker (1895-1973). #poetry #flowers
A collage of nine close-up photographs features different colorful spring flowers. The top row includes a yellow daffodil, a white and purple-speckled Hellebore, and a bright yellow daisy-like Doronicum flower. The middle row showcases vibrant pink blossoms, yellow primroses, and purple-checkered fritillary flowers. The bottom row presents a purple Balkan anemone with a yellow center, delicate blue Scilla flowers, and a soft pink hyacinth. Each flower is set against a blurred natural background, emphasizing their vivid colors and intricate details.

It happened! Daffodil blooms are here🏵🧡💛🧡 now to see if they survive tonight's cold spell.
Brown, vine covered courtyard filled with daffodil leaves and four new daffodil flowers are visible in the middle bunch. There is a white building in the background and a blue tinted window. There is a small parking lot in the far background filled with cars. Two bare small trees are visible in the courtyard and to the left.

Yesterday's daffodil picture with extra snow. Might be a bit before the first bloom.
A snow covered courtyard next to a white building (on the right) with blue tinted windows, there are several small bare trees and the tops of daffodil leaves just barely poking out of the snow. The sky in the background is a pale blue.

Daffodil update, snow day edition. They are getting taller and don't mind a little cold weather.
A snow covered court yard with several bare short trees, daffodils are visible poking up through the snow in several places. The bottom of the picture shows a rock border around the snow covered vines. To the right are blue tinted windows in a white building. To the left is a sidewalk with a delivery person in a blue uniform walking towards the left. In the background is a small parking lot with several cars, the closest one is bright red.

Got a few snow pics before the rain melts it all.
Picture of a double pane window decorated with white square stickers to imitate a Minecraft window. The view outside the window is of bare tree branches with heavy wet snow on them blocking the view beyond them. A picture angled toward the sky, in the foreground is overlapping bare tree branches covered in snow, a few tree branches have brown seed pods still hanging down, there is a mostly snow covered evergreen bush to the right, in the middle left background is a single story yellow house with a snow covered roof.
