The forsythia are blooming.  All over the area.  A mile away a neighbor has a bush that must be an hundred yards long.  It goes around part of his property.  Every year when the flowers bloom we marvel at his display.  It goes in and out on my side of his property.  It is the longest stretch of forsythia I have ever seen.  He keeps it well trimmed.  The flowers are now blooming everywhere.  Another person in town made a beautiful arrangement by planting pine trees between each bush.  They only bloom for a short time but we enjoy other people’s flowers.
