Brave Snowdrops

Today as I walked in the garden, with Patchy, I noticed something small and white in grass. As i investigated i realised it was a Snowdrop. a small bulb that produces a little white flower with droopy leaves. These are known as "Maids of February" and are a sign that spring is very near. When the snowdrops appear it mean that spring in near and winter will soon be over. They are one of the first signs that spring is near; At a time when there are not many flower anywhere, I like snowdrops as they are small but brave the spring weather and bring the promise of new life.
