A Dusting of Snow in Edinburgh

Today we all woke up to a dusting of snow in the Scottish capital. I clearly have become obsessed with the weather here. It’s because it lends itself to a lot of conversation! I mean a lot!

A quick scan of my container garden with my morning coffee wonderfully demonstrated the multiple personalities of Mother Nature! My daffodils and hyacinth are blooming while the garden pots are coated with a layer of snow. Lol!

A walk around Holyrood Park which you know is one of my favourites in the city. On this occasion, I wanted to see it with this layer of snow.

The kids were out having snowball fights. The dogs were more playful than ever! How could I not smile?

The crags looked magical.

Finally, before I go, I had to take this photo! Only in Scotland can you have a layer of snow across the city but find people hard at work painting their outside fence!

Love it!

Snowdrops, yes. But daffodils? In Edinburgh?

Where have I been?! On Monday while I was walking in Edinburgh, I saw snowdrops for the first time.

Today, not only did I see snowdrops in the Bonnie Capital but I also noticed many daffodil bulbs have surfaced. I clearly have missed all of them ……until now.

Wow! Spring is definitely around the corner. In addition to daffodils, I saw a number of early bloomers during my walk.

Amazing! The Spring symphony of flowers in the city has definitely begun. However, some members of the orchestra have gone rogue!

I went for a wee walk this morning and look what I found!

Snowdrops!

Here in the capital, in Edinburgh, a few teasers were scattered on my trail. Snowdrop season is about to begin. We are at the beginning of the Spring flower show-down. An orchestrated symphony of colour between February and May! Yes, this excites me and it starts with the snowdrops.
