Tulip Festival

What an absolutely brilliant day we had! The weather was warm and sunny, and the air smelled fabulous. After getting my groceries and visiting the Grey Area art gallery (again!), I went for a drive to Seabird Island to take pictures of the tulip fields in bloom. Driving up and seeing the kaleidoscope of colour was a big WOW moment. I still feel like the pictures don't do it full justice, but at least you get an idea of what it looks like.











I love the pink tulips again the backdrop of the silver camper.

Dandelions may be considered weed by many folks, but spring without these sunny blooms would be dreary indeed. Even the seed heads are beautiful!

Yesterday I spend a while working the dirt again, cleaning out weeds in the flower beds. I should have been sewing aprons, but kept finding excuses to go outside, so I finally gave in to the urge and went a diggin' in the dirt.

As Lewis Gantt puts it so well,

"But each spring...a gardening instinct, sure as the sap rising in the trees, stirs within us. We look about and decide to tame another little bit of ground."
