snowishes



Spring is coming Spring is coming Spring is coming

Spring is coming Spring is coming Spring is coming

Winter is hard on the Peonies/Boy/Rabbit household. We don't like dark skies and short days, we don't like getting our feet wet, we don't like waking up with frosty noses and snuffles and we really don't like how batshitcrazy the whole season makes us feel. But spring is coming. There are snowdrops* in the parks and in the florists and they told me so.



*First snowdrops of the season. Do you get to make a wish on them or is that something that I made up a little bit?

  4. Wish wish away!! You don't know until you try. Maybe El Nino will be listening and start to kick in full force.

  5. I have been feeling the same way. I can handle the cold, but I *hate* the dark.

    But Spring! Yay!

  6. Spring is definitely coming! First come the snowdrops and then daffodils and once the daffs are here it is absolutely springtime. Not remembering a tradition of making wishes but hey if you want to go for it. I wish for things everyday just for the hope that one day they might come true.

  11. You get to make wishes on them. For sure. And Spring is coming. Bad news for me is that it'll last maybe two weeks, and then it'll be the dead of summer. For, like, 6 months. I kid you not. Sigh.

    Celia is kind of lucky that way.

  12. “Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth.” - Francesca Lia Block

  13. when when when when when when? :)
    i love spring, although i must say, i was convinced i had SAD - seasonal affective disorder - for years every winter until i started snowboarding, and now i look forward to being outside in the snow almost as much as going to the beach. so odd, i know.

  14. The short days make me miserable, too. I can't imagine how bad it is all winter further north.

    I say wish all you want. The flowers are lovely. =)

  17. I lurrve the cold but that's probably because I come from a very hot dry place that doesn't really get too cold. Oh, how I wish for snow and fireplaces and the wearing of cardigans...hope you have a lovely spring when it comes:)

  19. Love ur Blog and love your snowdrops! Keeping a look out here in my garden for them too!

    We all want sprng to arrive! Please no more snow!!!

  20. Definitely agreed. The only time I ever really enjoy a freezing cold winter is when I am curled up in front of a fire (hard to do with no fireplace), or snowboarding (hard to to with no mountains close by).

  21. don't like how batshitcrazy the whole season makes us feel.....Thank you!

  22. Totally okay to wish on them. I heard somewhere that you can track the spread of spring Northwards if you monitor the progress of snowdrops...ours arrived in London a couple of weeks ago so maybe it is true. Maybe one day I'll just spend a few weeks chasing snowdrops up the country! One can but dream...
