It’s Time to Prune the Roses …

“Forsythia”
Heatherwood Spring

As the Farmer’s Almanac says, “When the forsythias bloom, it is time to prune the roses.” I will be busy this coming week.

I spent a couple of hours walking around our garden with Mary today. She gladly volunteered to be my sherpa. I worked with two cameras, switching back and forth between a macro and a telephoto zoom. While I was using one, she held the other. It sure was a lot easier than changing lenses back and forth. Thank you Mary!

Signs of Spring

“Forsythia Tree”
Heatherwood Spring

This bright little forsythia tree was the first plant to bloom in our garden when I first moved back to Selah in 2016. A couple of years ago we added a Cornelian Cherry Dogwood to the garden. The dogwood now is the first tree to bloom. But the forsythia is still the harbinger of spring to me as it tells me that it is time to prune the roses.
