Harbinger of Spring (Forsythia!)
Can you think of anything that alerts us more of spring than the movie-theater-popcorn-yellow blossoms of the cheery forsythia bush? I cannot. It's the first sign of color around my area of Maine during "Stick Season." You know...that stage of the year in New England when the rest of the world out west is already abloom with tulips and daffodils? But we on the east coast are still waiting amidst the drab barren branches of gray, for the girlish world to unfold in colorful buds and blossoms. But then, wait! Look! The heartening forsythia doesn't let us down after all. It returns every year to comfort disheartened Mainers with a bright splash of sunshine and hope. See, spring really does return year after year. Even this year. WHEW! Thank you, Mother Nature!
