Friday, April 04, 2003 AD Forsythia! There are few things in the world that bring more joy to my eyes than the sight of forsythia in bloom. It vexes me, however, when forsythia bushes are too carefully trimmed and sculpted. The whole point of the things, in my humble but correct opinion, is the exuberant wheeeeeeee! of untamed arms outflung in glory-giving yellow gesture. Forsythia should look like it's dancing in wild abandon, not like it's being forced to sit, starched-collar-constrained and tea-sipping-civilized, in a stuffy Victorian parlor.
