Six Word Saturday

Finally,Signs Of Spring Are Here! 

Yee ha! Spring is on its way....at long last! 

I have been able to peg my washing out and get it dry.

I have done the school run in just a hoody,no coat!

Chips has played out after tea in just his jumper.

A daffodil has bloomed in our garden,just the one mind! 

And the thing that says Spring has sprung to me is this plant,I think it's a Forsythia.


When we moved to this house many,many moons ago,it was Spring time and this flower was in bloom.I can remember looking at it and thinking how pretty it was and how lucky we were to live in such a nice area.Little did I know then that as quick as a flash the bright yellow flowers quickly turn green and the yellow only stays for a short time...so it's a case of catch it while you can.The blooming of this plant always signifies Spring to me.

Its made me smile this week as young Chips exclaimed to me that there were lots of tiny daffodils growing outside and it was this plant.I think it will forever remembered as the tiny daffodil plant in my mind now!

I hope you are all enjoying some signs of Spring wherever you are!

    Nice photos, a big hurrah for spring :D
    Here in Holland the sun is shining, though it's still rather cold. Again. We had a couple of warmer days last week. But the flowers are responding.
    Have a mellow weekend.

    I saw the magnolia tree in our area beginning to bud. It too is a plant that flowers before the leaves come out.
