Spring in Yellow - Forsythia Bushes

What a beautiful and sunny day in
Nashville today!
 
Fall is my fav time of the year, love the colors
but I have to say that spring with all the new
blooming out is next in line.
 
I love the bright yellow of Forsythia bushes.
Got these from my mom's yard the day before
yesterday just to bring the spring color into the
house!
 
I have a starter from these bushes but mine is still
so young that it will probably be a couple more
years before it blooms.
 
Cool story behind mom's bushes. Years ago she
took a starter piece from my granddaddy's bush
in Georgia. From that she has spread her bushes
through her yard and the neighbor across the
street even has a nice size bush started from that
one piece mom got from granddaddy.
 
Now the really cool part to that is.....I now have
a starter from that first piece. It is like having a
part of my granddaddy in my yard! Makes the
fact that I love these bushes even more special.
 
 


 
You know telling about these bushes made me realize that
I have a few more plants that have started from other
starters that I will have to share. They don't have the special
meaning that the Forsythia do but they still carry a special
friendship with them......
 
Thanks for stopping in,

I love Forsythia plants. We don't have a single one in our neighborhood, but I remember them fondly from my childhood. I wonder if there are still some at my Nana's house. I should stop by there and ask for a "start". :)

Seasonal Changes with Lily, Moods, Snuggle Bunny, Blue Tail Skink gets out Alive

Image
 Seasonal changes are coming,  moving in slowly as always,  but coming.  Leaves are falling, not since fall is close but cause we  are so freak'n dry. Got a little rain shower on Wed. but, it did not even register in my rain gauge.    Spider webs are thick, grass is  crunchy, flowers are giving up  the fight, and Lily is doing her seasonal behavior as fall moves in. What would that be? She has started the curling up  behind my knee sort of  thing again and  wanting to be close. Not on me,  not in my lap, but close to me. This starts taking place every year around this time. Not only has that started, I think  she knows that time changes at some point. This week, she started waking me at 4. What she don't understand, it is not bouncing forward, so 4 will not be 5.... LILY, get with the program! haha.. Actually, I think the early rise has to do with me.  You see, with me having been  suffering the last 2.5 mon...

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...
