Spring is awakening all around Princeton. The forsythia shrubs are out showing off their most beautiful yellow flowers. I really connect with forsythia. As a child we had a huge hedge of forsythia outside my bedroom window. One morning I would wake up, pull up my window shade and WOW...there was the gorgeous, glorious, and amazing yellow flowers. I still feel the exact same feeling I felt when I was a kid as an adult when I see forsythia in bloom, HAPPY and FULL OF SMILES! Take a look at my perspective of the wonders of Forsythia.....
Next comes those wonderful daffodils. They grow and multiply without much work and come back every year. What an amazing present to receive. I truly appreciate their glory.
Go outside, Enjoy the Sunshine as Spring Awakes all around you!
I love when the spring bulbs come up, or at least I did when I lived in a cold climate. Here in the desert of southern Arizona we get spring early and the first flowers are Oleanders, followed by wild flowers that spring up everywhere. That happens in February, sometimes even in January. In the actual spring months the cacti begin to bloom.
ReplyDeleteI lived in San Diego for 12 years and spring was the California poppies, oleanders, and wildflowers in Anza Borrego Desert State Park. Here in Princeton, there are so many flowers that bloom on the trees, shrubs and wildflowers too. I live next to a preserve that has the most incredible woods that I could have ever imagined. The daffodils naturalize really well here, there are lots of fields of them. Tulips too, easy to grow, since you don't have to dig them up to make a "fake" freeze. I do miss the hills in Califorina filled with orange poppies. I have to get those photos up on my blog. There are still in non-digital form. Blessings, Linda
