Dark Towers

Forsythia is a sheer joy. There is not an ounce, not a glimmer of sadness or even knowledge in forsythia.

Chances are, though, that once we get a garden looking just right and everyone tells us how perfect it is, we'll decide we want to take it apart and try something else or turn our attention to starting a brand new border from scratch. Maybe it doesn't make sense, but it doesn't really need to: It's just what we do.
