Thanks to Tom Scioli for providing the Scans Supreme!

Just back from the jingle jangle of Manhattan to a lovely warm Columbus Day in Vermont. It’s so warm, in fact, that the forsythias are blooming. Forsythias are normally one of the first plants to show color in the spring of the year. Fears of global warming aside, I quite like the combination of the yellow flower and purpley autumn leaves.

Blow into the tube to inflate.
