Snowy Asters

I'm late with yesterdays post, however, I find it a bit cheery on this overcast, frosty Friday!  We had a dusting of fresh snow but the sun did pop it's head out from behind the clouds yesterday afternoon.  When it finally did emerge, the remnants of last years White  Heath Asters (Symphyotrichum ericoides) stood tall in the glistening snow that surrounds them!  How many more days of winter will remain????
