Technically, these aren’t flowers. More likely, they’re faded remnants of a small plant that was alive and green last summer. But I found them in the woods near the creek, and that’s about the closest to flowery you’ll find there as we near the end of January. I looked for some small signs of rebirth … not yet … too early.
I took this photo last winter at the floral department of the grocery. This year I get in and out as quickly as I can. Best wishes to all. Stay safe and stay well.
