Forcing Forsythia Braches

Grey and cloudy again here in CT, however the plants are proceeding as they always do. The yard is peppered with tiny purple flowers, the crocuses have now come and gone. The first daffodil has opened up it's cheery petals. I have seen bees all week long, which is truly a harbinger of warmer weather on the way. I was out in the garden poking around to see what was emerging from the squishy kapha ground, and I remembered that one can snip a few branches off the forsythia, add hot water and voila - a yellow profusion of happiness in your kitchen! Be patient, as it may take a few hours or days, depending upon how outgoing those branches are feeling. Thanks to my pal Amy for helping me get started with the crown molding, as the kitchen de-construction/reconstruction continues.
