Snowdrops

I like to think that, long ago

There fell to earth some flakes of snow

Which loved this cold, grey world of ours

So much, they stayed as snowdrop flowers 

~ Mary Vivian

The return of the snowdrops, for Imbolc (or Candlemas) on 1st and 2nd February, marks the beginning of the lambing season and signals the stirrings of new life. It is Feile Brighde, the 'quickening of the year' and the promise of renewal, of hidden potential, of earth awakening and life-force stirring. #snowdrops #spring #candlemas #imbolcblessings
