Parsonage grounds

forsythia

this forsythia is bursting onto the scene with a dazzling splash of colour.  behind and above it the trees are budding and will be leafing out soon.  to the L can be seen one of the old water pumps from early Camp Meeting days.  it's good we've since gone beyond that to city water, and even better that the Grove retains so much of its natural beauty. 

it's better to be thankful for it than than envious of how the scraggly little forsythias in a certain cottage garden compare to this specimen.  while the show lasts I can walk over and look at it any time.
