I am feeling very, very, very sorry for myself. The word for snowdrop in French is perce-neige (snow piercer). Any perce-neige in my neck of the woods is going to need extra vitamins, a diet of spinach, and some weight training.MmeThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01943569473245835452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-72970404336171208122008-03-21T09:32:00.000-07:002008-03-21T09:32:00.000-07:00What a lovely poem!

I know it's out there somewhere, just not here. I heard the cherries have already bloomed in D.C.! We still have dirty snow drifts around the edges of parking lots.<BR/><BR/>Sigh.
