Hi Lucy, Susan, Cinda.
I appreciate why "Arctic hysterias" can be associated with Arctic living.
Thanks, Susan; that's at least one bulb that escaped the voles.
Great quotation, Cinda.
Despite Susan's encouragement, at this time, I'd say our one snowdrop reminds me more of Horace's words concerning the mountains giving birth to a "ridiculous mouse".
But back to voles (meadow mice), it's mice (lots) and "ridiculous" isn't the right word.
