| i have brought a little bit of spring into my bay window by forcing forsythia (try saying that five times fast!) |
 |
| a jump start on spring blooms. so easy to do! |
 |
| i cut branches of forsythia from my garden... only 5 days ago! i kid you not. and they are already blooming! |
 |
| just plopped the branches into a glass vase of water... stuffed plastic grocery bags around the vase to keep it centered in this cement urn... and topped it with pretty deer moss. |
 |
like a breath of fresh spring air. so easy! and ever so rewarding! do you "force" spring blooms too? erin |

I wish I had the blooms to even try this! We still have a ton of snow that needs to melt, but oh the glory of this color! Beautiful job, erin! Anita
Pretty - Love it sitting between the swans. When the forsythia blooms, you know Spring is not far behind. I need to check the neighborhood bush to see if it has buds yet.
How beautiful Erin! I wish I had a forsythia in my garden..
I tried, could say it 4 times!
teeehee

That is beautiful. My daughter did something similar with tulips in glass vases with just glass orbs and water in the bottom sitting on a window sill. Really brings some nice spring into the room.
i don't but i'm so grateful you do! what cheerful color to share with us all today. love it.

Dear Erin - what a lovely sight. Thank you for the idea...I am going to cut some forsythia and pussy willows...both look lovely together. Take care and have a great day.
Oh, that's just so pretty, Erin! I went for a walk with our granddaughter yesterday and looked for pussy willows, but it's a bit too early for them up north. I may have to try forcing apple blossoms when the time is right.
Hi Erin,
How sweet of you to leave such a kind note... I thought it would be fun to attempt a wool painting.
blessings to you,
Penny
If only. But I really can't complain since we have something blooming most of the year. Years ago I had 15 forsythia bushes in my yard in Massachusetts! I loved them.
So pretty! No forcing over here, just enjoying yours! AND I am on a mission to hit up all the beautiful gardens around here while the blooms are still around! Spring sprung early here! I just went to some gardens that were already in full bloom!
Happy Spring Erin!
