It's not much, but it's a start

I was out in the yard the other day with my camera and I noticed the tiniest buds on my forsythia. It's not a lot but it's something. It won't be long before they are covered in those lovely yellow flowers. I know you can't really see the buds in the picture but believe me, they're there.

  1. And all that snow it gone. I'm guessing Duke is a very happy guy. Warm feet and all. Spring is indeed a wonderful time of year.

    Have a terrific day. Big tummy rubs to Duke. :)

  4. Lucky you!! No buds here yet, it's been quite cool the last couple of days. Hopefully in a couple of weeks we will see real signs of spring :)

  11. It may be different up there, but down here, we often get some of our worst winter weather in April. So, I ain't peeling my long-johns off until June.

  13. Budlets!

    And yesterday I noticed that, despite our freak snow last weekend, my daffodills are up and nodding their yellow heads.

    SPRING!

  15. Aren't you lucky, Ann!

    Not much blooming in our garden as of yet, but it's been a rough winter for these parts.
    And the rain doesn't help either!

  18. I love forsythia - more a harbinger of Spring for me than crocuses (croci ?)

  19. Ann, go over to Beaded Tail. Her "Friday Features" has a painting that looks like you might have done it. Or Duke is free-lance modeling and forgot to tell you!

  20. I believe you. I noticed tiny purple flowers growing yesterday. Of course, we are expecting snow in the next couple of days so that will probably upset the flowers but I can enjoy them while they are here.

  21. Ahhh. . . . I should take a picture of the Forsythia here - it all in full bloom - all over the place - just magnificent!! Happy Friday to all!

    ReplyDelete
  22. The crocuses and snow-drops have just started to bloom here! But there are still piles of snow and it rains a lot. Forsythia is still in the future!
    Hugs,
    Anna

  25. There's a house near mine that has a huge forsythia hedge and I noticed tonight it's all in bloom!

  26. Buggys, I can't wait till mine is. I love all the yellow. Of course they get way out of control and have to be trimmed back a lot but it's worth it for that burst of color they bring in the spring.
