So hoping Spring is finally here. Lovely piece Sarah. Gorgeous tulips.
Thank you, Shey 🙂 Has Spring arrived at your end of the country? We have a cheeky little micro-climate where I live, so it can be a month ahead of other places in the UK. That being said, there’s a downturn in the temperature today. Back in woolies and socks, and I was so enjoying wearing my shorts, t-shirt, and big sunhat at the weekend. The flowers still look great, though, despite the onset of grey, and the birds are singing merrily at the top of their little voices.
We have big tulip festivals here where I live….incredible displays of vibrant colors….and your haiku, of course, captures it perfectly in a minimalist sort of way.
Yes, I remember about your tulip festival, as you mentioned it last year when — as usual — I posted some pictures of another variety of these awesome flowers 🙂 Lucky you. I would be in my seventh heaven attending such a festival.
Wishing you a brilliant week, too, my dear friend.
Thank you, Dale 🙂 I’m so pleased that spring is on its way for you.
Sorry I’m being so neglectful of you and Rochelle lately. Time is flying by and I still haven’t finished my project, as my head is on go-slow. Will emerge from my shell before long, I hope. Then we can have a big catch-up and will probably be on Skype for several hours, to make up for lost time 😉
Worry not. Rochelle was out and about gallivanting across the western states. She just got back yesterday!
As for me… way to much poo-poo going on…
😘
Done with the poo-poo! And house is officially on market (you can snoop on FB 😉 ) They called me at 9:50 to ask if the house could be visited at 10:15. Um. No. Boys are sleeping! That said, I have one tomorrow at 2 pm! Woo hoo!
When next I go on FB, I will snoop. Haven’t been on there at all lately. I’m thrilled to hear that you’re done with the poo-poo! Best of luck with the house sale 🙂
Thank you, Andrew 🙂 I’m pleased you think it’s beautiful. You have a great Monday, too, although you’re in a different time zone to me, so you have more of the day left than I have!
Thank you, Sylvia 🙂 I adore tulips. Sadly they’re all over with now, so I’ll soon be lifting the bulbs and laying them to rest for next year. Of course, the flower pots won’t be staying empty for long!

Sorry to hear about all the poo-poo D: You don’t deserve it. I hope plenty of sunshine comes into your life soon and sends the poo-poo packing!
