I keep saying that and then we go back to winter temperatures. Today I reverted to my winter coat for my walk up to the library and was glad of the extra layer. It was windy and spitting rain. We had a nice day on Saturday and a good hour of tennis but more rain is forecast for the rest of the week.
I cut the forsythia back last fall but it has till produced quite a few blooms.
I am envious of your forsythia. I have tried everything to get mine to bloom, they produce only lots of summer leaves, which are nice, but I planted for the spring bloom! We had a lot of late afternoon fog as the temperature changed. I just hope that the rain doesn't turn to snow! I like the leaves on a Mountain Ash.
ReplyDeleteThe Mountain Ash is outside my kitchen window and the birds, especially Robins, go mad for the berries in the Fall. Very entertaining. Turned out quite nice today after all!
DeletePruning back often seems to stimulate flowering, I find. What a sunshine plant it is.
ReplyDeleteI hope your weather picks up. Here it is quite cold (for UK mid April) but we've had some lovely sunshine. It'll warm up soon.

It's sunny here now and quite warm but it was chilly on the tennis courts this morning. At least there was no wind or rain.
DeleteI love the splashes of yellow in early Spring, daffodils and forsythia. We have a few dotted around the garden to brighten up the gloomy days.
ReplyDeleteThey are certainly a brilliant colour. Too bad they don't last long.
DeleteStrange weather here too but I am hopeful that sunshine is on the way.
ReplyDeleteIt has been very changeable here this week too.
DeleteI think that Mother Nature is a bit confused about things. I guess this pandemic has affected her as well.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Pelting down here but no complaints because the park in front of my apartment is looking much more alive and colourful. Alicante always needs rain :-) keep well Amanda x
