Tulip Wednesday: Week 5

The smell of Spring is in the air.  I've slept with windows open for the last few nights and awakened to chirping birds.  Everywhere I go, there are daffodils in bloom.  My own daffodils are partially bloomed and the tulips aren't far behind.  The collection next to the house is in a lot of shade for most of the day but the flower stems grow taller each day.

I planted another circle of tulips in a strip of sunny grass in the front yard and those are also thinking about blooming.

I check out my flower bulbs every day, breathing in the smell and hope of Spring, reminding myself to embrace the people I love because life, like the tulip season, is awfully short.
