Tulips Are My Favorite Spring Flower... Well....Maybe This Week!

 I don't remember tulips growing up in Kellogg. Early spring is a bit of a blur. We seemed to go from winter to a long gray period with smelter smoke/fog surrounding us, to summer. Somewhere in there the lilacs bloomed, but I don't remember much else until we put the petunias and pansies in the bed under the kitchen window. I do remember tulips at Grandma's house in Spokane. Tulips always reminded me of Holland and wooden shoes and windmills. I like seeing tulips in storybooks. They were always so bright and cheery. Now I can enjoy my own tulips. We do have spring. We found newer colors last fall to plant and I really love the results. Enjoy!
