Forsythia on the window sill

Dear Diary,

What started tenuously on Easter Sunday has exploded with color this morning. The forsythia is such a welcome harbinger of Spring. After a couple of warm days, everywhere you look outside there is some new life, new growth, new hope. The ice is finally out of the pond down the road as well, I thought it would never leave! Although today is much cooler, the sun is shinning and the birds are singing. I can only look forward to warmer days now...winter has past.

Bursting with new life...
