Could spring really be coming???

I went outside to shake a tablecloth and noticed all the buds on the forsythia planting. Clare received a “cutting” from a friend. I expect this forsythia may be “Forsythia japonica” (family Oleaceae). Genus page at PhytoImages, http://phytoimages.siu.edu/cgi-bin/dol/dol_terminal.pl?taxon_name=Forsythia&rank=genus

That will be pretty when they open but it still looks quite pretty as little buds too.
