The Joy of Yellow

This morning, the first thing I noticed when I looked out the window was how nicely our hedge of forsythia bushes was doing! Spring is just getting started here in New England and the forsythia heralds the new season like nothing else can!

There are also some daffodils in the front garden...


and in the house I found a few more cheerful yellow objects:





I thought about the sun and its warmth, yellow daylilies that bloom during the summer, my bedroom walls when I was a young woman, sunflowers and yellow squash. I remembered fields of sunflowers I once saw in southern France and a yellow plaid dress I had when I was 13. 

I'm glad I noticed the forsythias.
