Forsooth!

[redbird]

The forsythia have started to bloom at the tiny park around Dyckman House (the last farmhouse in Manhattan, now a small museum with a nice garden and some reconstructed Revolutionary War–era buildings), as has the magnolia. But it's forsythia that means Spring to me, as much as crocus, and more than all the daffodils that are gloriously yellow today. I also pulled up the season's first maple sprout, from one of the street trees I garden around. There just isn't room for a maple tree there.

I only wish I had as much energy as those plants.

*happy sigh* I love forsythia second only to lilac. Those two are my personal flora-signs that life is good, and that rebirth and renewal continue. For me the fauna-sign is the mourning dove. :-)

Yay Forsythia! There's a magnolia tree right outside our living room window which is covered in pale pink blooms.
