Forsythia!

 The Forsythia are blooming now, and seem to scream joy and sunshine. Here are ones in town.



This is our little one in the front yard.







This yellow truck has been parked in the same place in front of a forsythia hedge for maybe ten years now. It never seems to move, ever! At least one tire is flat now.

I asked A.I. to draw me a picture of a forsythia with birds in it, and this is what it did. It also wrote the following poem for me, this is only a snippet of the very long poem it wrote. It even included the facts at the end!

So let your branches sway, let your petals unfurl,
Forsythia, you are the sun’s kiss on our cheeks,
A promise of warmth, a canvas of joy,
In your golden embrace, spring’s magic peaks.


Note: Forsythia, with its vibrant yellow blooms, symbolizes hope, anticipation, and the renewal of fresh growth. It’s a delightful harbinger of spring. ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒฟ

I am thrilled to see your forsythia photos, it takes me back to my childhood home in Wisconsin where we had a forsythia hedge. So sunny, so cheerful. I also like that yellow truck, it fits right in.

I love forsythias! I planted one up on the land but it didn't survive the critters. So we planted daffodils, which work much better.

Wow, forsythia is all over around where you live. How pretty this time of year with all the yellow blooms. How odd about that truck. It doesn't look like it's in bad shape.
Love your AI picture.

The Forsythia looks beautiful along the edges of the street. And the little bush at your house is so pretty. I think this is the shrub I see at the creek, but not sure. It's so nice that you know the names of the plants and shrubs, Ginny. That yellow truck is delightful too. That is a really nice drawing of the Forsythia and birds. What a talent the artist has.

Happy Spring days to you, Ginny.

Can't wait to see forsythias in bloom here too. (But I'll probably have to, for a while longer...) Love the AI picture!

Red Rose Alley said...

Ginny, No, that's not my fence; it's just in back of a decorated wagon coming into town. I have white fencing all around my yard. They always decorate the pioneer wagon for holidays, and this one was fun. I liked the smile on the bunny's face.

I love forsythia and wish it lasted longer. Not blooming here yet, but looking forward to when it does.

The yellow forsythias are so pretty and I love that truck - I wonder who has left it there for ten years?
So you can do AI too!
Happy spring Ginny.

Seeing these blooms reminded me of the ones we had in the backyard of my parents home, but sadly there are none in bloom in our present location, Thanks for sharing these cheerful pics, Ginny.
