On Friday Margie told me to buy tulips n e way home from work. I didn't. Our grocery had sad valentine leftovers. Yesterday I was in Toronto and here were gorgeous tulips at the greengrocer but they wouldn't have survived the day in the car, it was too cold. Then I come here and discover that you have tulips. I think I shall buy some today.

Marilyn said...

your tulips do feed my soul. It is so hard to pass them by in the market, they do call to our hearts. Sometimes if I am a bit broke and can't take some home I just stop and smell them and admire right in the market. That is free, but bringing them home is even better.

Gretchen said...

I liked how you cropped this. And the depth of field is nice. We have a snow day here in Michigan. Did the latest snow hit MIlwaukee as well?

Relyn said...

I have a loooong habit of buying the first bundle of tulips I spot. Then, I know spring is really on her way.

karen-holmes said...
