‘I saw the first snowdrops in my garden this morning’

Sir,

I saw the first snowdrops in my garden this morning. The apple trees are budding, bursting with quiet life, while the peanut feeders hung among their branches host scores of feathered friends for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Amid all the bad news, these small reminders of the beauty and miracle of life are very welcome. Yours, etc.
