A little corner of Reader Rock Garden

This photo and the previous one were taken on 6 May 2015, when I called in at the Reader Rock Garden after a volunteer shift. Each year, I try and take quite a few photos of various garden flowers, ready to have something bright and colourful to post during our long, cold, snowy winter months. This winter has been ridiculously mild, apart from a number of very cold periods that brought snow, so I haven't really needed as many bright photos to post. Spring is almost here, so this is a reminder of what is yet to come.

It's very overcast this morning (14 March 2016) and +3C, with a forecast for wet flurries (snow and rain) for this afternoon. Scattered flurries for this evening and overnight. We, especially the farmers, desperately need moisture. However, like it seems to have happened many times, the forecast could easily change and there will be no sign of 'the white stuff'.
