100 Years Ago: 1921
Those surprising springtime fairy forsythias, are blooming everywhere. Only a day or two ago and their bare, bleak branches branched out lean arms that gave no hint of even a bud. Almost overnight the pale yellow blossoms covered them from top to bottom. The air is full of delicate perfume where the fairies hide deep in the golden belle and any mortal attuned with their beauty may hear their sweet toned music and linger a moment and listen.
