February is not really one thing or the other, and February is not really one thing or the other, and both at the same time. There are signs of spring everywhere. Early blossom is appearing and the hedgerows are waking up. The other day, I saw buds on a magnolia tree in somebody's garden, green and fuzzy and huge. 

When I took these photos, it had snowed earlier in the day. Signs of spring among reminders that it is still winter.

Creative invitations for February, on the theme of Creative invitations for February, on the theme of thresholds:

February is the doorway between winter and spring February is the doorway between winter and spring 💚🤍🌱❄️
