Everyone is talking about the weather.
It doesn’t matter where you live — it’s snowing or icing, and the temps are dangerously low. Everyone is being told to stay indoors.
It’s for our own protection.
Yet in the midst of all this cold, a few bulbs can flourish in just a few inches of water.
In three days, I have watched them go from simple green stems to three visible blooms (and a hint of more to come).
Makes me believe that spring is more than just a groundhog’s shadowy promise.

One man’s trash
At first glance, this looks a bit like a stained glass window.
Perhaps that was photographer and graphic designer Mandy Barker’s inspiration.
But her creation uses material debris found in the sea, not glass.
It’s part of her art series ‘SOUP’ which seeks to raise awareness of the mass accumulation of plastic in the world’s oceans. Mandy has even been nominated twice for the Prix Pictet Award, which is the world’s leading photographic award in sustainability.
I’ve learned a couple of things I didn’t know, so I’d say her artwork is doing the trick.
