Practicing for spring

February 23

It was late February; it was time to get spring started!

February 23

I brought in some promising twigs from a forsythia out in the yard.

February 25

In not time at all, spring arrived!

February 27

I could have trimmed this bush more, and had heaps of blooms now!

This vase-full is a delight.  Perhaps I'll bring some more in for a mid March display.

February 28

By then, the outdoors will actually be blooming.

At least, there will be one snowdrop blooming by then!
