Excerpt from The Lowly Estate

This morning the lawn was white with snow, not frost. When I got home in the early afternoon it still was lying on the more sheltered parts of the garden, and I found small comfort even where it had disappeared. Removing the covering from the rhubarb plants, I did indeed see ruddy stalks just emerging from the ground, and pretty, crinkled leaves just venturing to uncurl. Close inspection showed me green spots upon the raspberry canes, and small, tight buds upon the apple trees. There was evidence of vitality upon the lilacs and on the standard roses. But one had to look for these. Otherwise only snowdrops and a few crocuses stood to represent all the hope of autumn. The garden wore as uninviting an aspect as it has worn any time within the last two months.
