The tulips are in bloom right now, and they are so pretty! I love the way they look all massed together in huge groups. The red color is so bright, it almost doesn't seem real.
(we have seen some lovely yellow tulips too---I don't want them to feel left out)
We are happy to have such beautiful weather, and such nice parks to play at and walks to go on!
Children's voices in the orchard
Between the blossom- and the fruit-time:
Golden head, crimson head,
Between the green tip and the root.
Black wing, brown wing, hover over;
Twenty years and the spring is over;
To-day grieves, to-morrow grieves,
Cover me over, light-in-leaves;
Golden head, black wing,
Cling, swing,
Spring, sing,
Swing up into the apple-tree.
--T.S. Eliot

The tulips up that way really are charming.
ReplyDeleteI miss the tulips. When I come up for Womens Conf. (4/29-5/6) can I join you on one of your walks?
ReplyDeleteIt's like your grinding my face into the fact that I live next to a swamp full of mosquitos and flies with neighbors eternally drunk and unkempt while you live in Disneyland. thanks.
ReplyDeletejust kidding. I want to come up there so we can go to Costco. They have a snackbar, you know.

I am so jealous of your neighborhood! Seriously, every week something new is blooming there! Today I went on a walk of about a 2 mile radius with Owen and Thomas and we were Thrilled beyond measure to spot (we were truly searching with our "sharp eyes") 1 patch of puny daffodils, 3 dandelions, and 4 unbloomed tulips. Anyone want to move to Canada?
ReplyDeleteRach, brrr! I am always amazed at you Northerners' fortitude. But---if I could be your neighbor---I think I WOULD move up there. It would be worth it. :) Can't wait to see you in a month or two!
