@crossingthethreshold for me it points to the hope of spring during this mild but very wet winter. I imagine Hawaii has some compensating blue skies.
@johnjohnston we’ve had our share of rain. but there is enough blue skies to remind us of where we are.
@johnjohnston I always use to see the appearance of the snowdrops and crocuses as the beginning of the end of winter, and spring starting to make its presence felt.
