Tulips
After our brief wind storm yesterday evening we had a lot of rain but this morning it's not raining and it's not windy either. I've been outdoors in my shirtsleeves and got our trash to the curb for pick up. I also filled the bird feeders again.
I saw that the tulip buds are swelling bigger and bigger and will open in a few days. The daffodils are starting to look a little ragged but from a distance, their beautiful sunny yellow looks wonderful.
The tulips in front of the living room window will bloom first. They will also be a sunny yellow. They seem to glow on a sunny morning. I never get tired of looking at them.
Last fall I planted a lot of new bulbs. They are starting to send up their buds now. I'm looking forward to seeing their color when they open. In the last couple of years, I have been buying new bulbs, and I find that I forget by the time they are growing in the spring what color I bought and I'm surprised joyfully when they finally bloom. The yellow tulips that will bloom first have been there for many years and their color is deeply impressed in my mind.
Sometimes I forget where I planted new bulbs and then it's interesting to walk through the yard in the spring and discover where new things are growing.
I have a question though. How did the daffodil get into the center of the Iris bed? I don't remember putting it there. Sometimes I think my plants inch along and get themselves into new places.
