Lovely piccie, Winter still outside and the start and promise of kinder seasons ahead inside. Forsythia out here, something about yellow in Spring that makes the human "sap" rise.

Thanks for your posts and inf

Did you force the forsythia in some way? Have they started blooming outdoors?

Yes, I forced the forsythia. To force, just cut it and bring in inside. Put it in water and because of the warmth inside, it will bloom very fast. Its not blooming outside yet. I bet its still a week or more off til it blooms outside. I love the bright yellow on the sill.

You can also force other blossoms like apple and cherry. I think its good to wait a bit though for those. Their buds don't seem to have formed yet. (Hard to imagine right now the glory of an apple tree in full bloom. Ahhh.)
