Giant snowflakes falling as my birch tree sprouts its spring catkins. Makes it look like a strange furry white creature.

A sunny spot from more than a week ago with birch roots, moss, and tiny daffodil greens coming up in the front. The highs are finally supposed to be above freezing for the next week. Let the melting begin.
