tulips

i got a bunch of tulips from amsterdam...., i mean new leaf on center street. a very nice little flower shop with great customer service. my kids walk out with each of them holding a flower in their hand as a little gift from the shop.
yes they are wonderful and just very enjoyable to think of spring, as it seems still a bit of a wish. although today it's warmer then the past few days and the wind is not blowing that sharply. we already went to the library and milk shopping in the morning. although it was good to have a hot chai latte at sweet finish and sit at the window to enjoy the really warm sunshine behind the glass. that is to come, yes spring will come and summer too. i'm yearning for it and have a hard time waiting, i do need the warmer temperatures and the oil bills to subside!
