With the big melt we are having, this thyme plant emerges from the snow. I haven’t seen it for a month as successive little snows have kept it hidden from view next to our primitive snow gauge. This type of melt is typical for February: a brief warming spell soon quashed by more snow and colder weather. The melting snow is a reverse calendar reminding me as each layer melts when a branch fell, seeds dropped from the maple (Acer) tree over the patio or when I forgot to walk the dog. It matters little, however, as the emergence of this delightful herb reminds me that Spring is just around the corner.
