Signs of Spring: Forsythia
Today is the first day I’ve seen forsythia blooming. In my enthusiasm I snapped this picture with my cell phone.

I saw it too! I live near Allegheny Cemetary and was out walking and there’s forsythia and a shadow of green everywhere!! And the robin’s are back and I have two pair of morning doves this year. Last year, they made a nest in my Pine and had two chicks. I’m wondering if I’ll have two nests this year??
Finally, Spring is here!!
That’s why my sinuses have gone crazy…
Not my favorite plants.
