Loveliest of Tress the Cherry Now

Not quite what A E Houseman had in mind but there IS blossom under the snow - and he lived in Shropshire not the Rocky Mountains. I think you will find the poem from "The Shropshire Lad" in last years awheywithwords. Houseman actually worked as a farmer I believe.


Comments:
The cherry blossom is out on the yard as is the damson. Lilies of the valley have struggled to send shoots up through the snow & I gather that dustbins are sprouting up all over the place in Acomb.
