snowdrops and Teapot

4/1/11
I have had the little tea set with the snowdrops for more than 50 years, a present from my grandmother.
Many hot chocolate parties with my sisters, and then my daughters, have been enjoyed using the little pot and cups and saucers.
I have always loved snowdrops because of these fragile pieces, and have tried to grow the bulbs innumerable times in our challenging South Dakota weather. Finally, success, one hardy little soul has bloomed this year and a second one is trying. Thanks one more time, Ma Nature, for another surprise present.

Thanks for reviving a memory with the teapot photo, Sis. Pink cheeked little redheaded girls fresh in from some cold weather activity like sledding or skating. Cocoa in tiny, delicate, shell-like cups. Nice photo of the snowdrop herself, too. Truly a coup to finally get a blossum.
