We've truly had a mini summer these past few days, resulting in much beauty around the yard.
The daffodils bloomed on Monday.
And when I came home from work yesterday, there was the forsythia in full bloom - a month earlier than last year!
The other side of this was that my roses, which I hadn't pruned yet, were leafing out.
That's a real lotta leaves!
I'm usually outside in late March, coat on, pruning near the tiny leaf beginnings - today it was sandals, bare legs, and quick before it gets too hot out.

I pruned this rose after taking pictures. It's now a shadow of its former self. For the time being.
What beautiful flowers! I think I need to prune my rosebush as it hasn't really perked up this spring. I love the daffodils - they are one of my favorite flowers, but I won't get back home to see them this year.
ReplyDeleteWe are having growth all around here - flowers, blooming trees, grass - it's too early for this!:-)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I always say "a shadow of its former self." :)
