Signs of Spring
Quimperhitty Spring Garden.
Despite the rain, Rose and Tansy are out in the garden looking for evidence that warmer weather and brighter days are coming.

Snowdrops!
Rose thinks about bringing them inside, but decides to leave them alone. Their delicate beauty is somehow lovlier outside in the cold.

A Pretty Purple Periwinkle flower.
Being named after a noxious (though pretty) weed, Tansy goes in search of other planta non grata – she finds an escaped periwinkle among the ivy and blackberries!

Mini mini daffodils.
Rose and Tansy are glad to be able to admire some little spring flowers inside where it is not raining.

refreshing for our Midwestern [USA] gloom….thank you for the gorgeous colors! Becky
It is nice to see the garden from the Hitty’s point of view…a little bit of cheering colour here and there, I am glad you liked the pictures.
Rose and Tansy seem to be having a wonderful time in the drizzle. Like them, I hope for an early spring.
The Hittys have to enjoy the drizzle, or else they would be sitting around inside all winter!
Hitty Rose – You look so beautiful in your pink cape and cap. Hitty Tansy loves exploring outside. The little drizzle must feel good and looks like spring time is just around the corner……I know we will be seeing many more beautiful pictures with the Quimper hittys.
Our winters are dark and wet, but we seldom have snow. The good thing about drizzle is the reduced volume – downpours, storms and monsoons are harder to contend with when you are only 6 1/4 inches tall. Spring is definitely coming, thank goodness – it was actually not pitch dark outside at 7 am today!
Lovely pictures, made even more so by the pretty girls! I especially like the first photo.
Thanks, Rosie likes the catkins too.
