Isn't this a little sweet stitch? I used DMC white, 310 & WDW 'Moss'.  You can download the file here if you'd like to stitch it.

As it turns out I've now stitched four pieces with snowdrops.

I'm getting quite the collection!

While the snowdrops have come and gone here, there's still much to see and enjoy outside. Let's take a walk. 

These small flowers are some of the first to bloom.

We've always called them Spring Beauties.

A leafless Oak with a blue blue blue sky backdrop.

Pussy Willows everywhere!

See all the pollen - is that why my nose is running?

A cherry perhaps?

Here's the close-up. 

Last week the Trilliums were shooting up out of the ground.

Now they are a sea of white on the forest floor.

Nothing prettier than a spread of Trilliums. 

I think this is a plum in bloom.

The Osoberries are in fine form now.

I like the play of light on green.

In this case Licorice ferns. 

Pink, white, and violet.

All but the yellow Violets are now in bloom.

As are the first wild strawberries. 

Sun on moss covered rocks as the Big Creek rushes along.

Spring is sunlight, green and wet!

It's fitting then to leave in this boggy spot where Corn Lilies, Camas, and Monkey Flowers all happily reside.
