Mellow yellow

I guess there's nothing really mellow about the yellow in these two catalpas (and a shrub) in our neighbors' yard. Maybe I should have called this post "Screaming Yellow Zonkers."

Two catalpas and a shrub that looks like forsythia (but it can't be).

It's below 10ºC (50ºF) outside this morning. That doesn't sound very cold, but it sure feels like it. The central heating came on this morning. I increased the temperature a little. I feel like I'm getting frileux as I slide into old age.

  1. I wonder what that shrub is. I would automatically say forsythia. I’m just mad about Saffron, by the way.

    1. I could previously take the cold better than heat, but no longer. 'Frileux' (Yes, okay, I had to look it up) is seeping into my rapidly ageing self too.
      Mitch, you stole with your last sentence my own intended comment here, word-for-word. "Quite rightly" however! :-)
