Half still, half windy, but also time to start venturing out.
What to do with this time?
Love it.
It is unpredictable.

Tulip Festival, Thanksgiving Point 2009
Surprise storm clouds and strong winds interrupted our picnic and sent us running the first day. It was too cold for any tiptoeing. I forgot sweaters. Luckily, I'd read those wise words about loving May for what it is. Half disappointingly cold or blissfully warm and perfect.
One week later the tulips, 90% in bloom, were lovelier than ever! The dark purple "Queen of the Night" was my favorite!

May is my most favorite month EVER!! There's a disco song called boogie woogie dancin' shoes that says "make me queen of the night". Who knew there was a tulip with the same name? Very lovely!
I loved the poem you put on here. I read The Lovely Bones a few years ago. I'm anxious to hear your thoughts on it.
I never made it to the festival. Is it too late? Are the tulips all dead now?
I love Tulips Deann!!! Sweet post
I know, tulips are bigger than life...straight out of Alice in Wonderland. I love feeling like I'm walking through a fairy tale!
