SPRING ARRIVES IN THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS



Twenty four forsythia bushes are blooming around my home. These bushes are filled with tiny bell shaped flowers. Natives often say, " my yellow bells are in full bloom." They are a welcome sight, one of the first flowers to bloom in spring. Daffodils also bloom at the same time.

I love the yellow bushes. Forsythia is so pretty this time of year.

Thanks Glenda. You can see I am getting my blog back. It has taken a lot of work and hours of help from Apple Inc. I have no arrived as yet but I am on my way.
