🌱 I enthusiastically went out at first light because no rain was forecast, only to discover the tiniest snowflakes were falling and a bitter wind blowing, being a lightweight I retreated. However, the first zinnias have sprouted on the window sill, there are signs…

Thankfully the days are about to start getting longer but the garden is looking bleak, we’re both in shutdown. So when I can’t garden amongst the flowers I paint them
