Spring is here, nevertheless.
Good that I don't live in a penthouse.
I get to be among the tulips.
I said to Jessie today, "It's impossible not to be in a good mood on a day like this."
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm grateful for days like the ones we had here today. Looks like you're having one of those too.
A season of renewal -- and hopefully optimism, the cynic in the penthouse notwithstanding!
ReplyDeleteIt's so lovely to see the tulips there. A good balance of beauty to the times we are living in.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Expecting our soon. Check out the City of Ottawa tulip display.
ReplyDeletetulips are always a treat to see. they don't naturalize here, too hot, and have to be planted every year. consequently, I don't have any preferring native perennials.
ReplyDeleteI hiked in a field of bluebells today with my sister. A lovely morning to visit and explore. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteTulips! You know there was a tulip mania in the 17th century in Europe. People went mad over these flowers and bid their life savings away for just a short glimpse of a stunning flower.
ReplyDeleteI love tulips. They're just so dang cheerful, like daffodils are.
ReplyDeleteO yes! Tulip time!
ReplyDeleteOne of my friends loathes spring. I cannot fathom hating any season but spring, of all seasons, is so full of promise. The tulips are scrummy.
