Tip-Toe Through The Tulips!

Dean and I recently visited a wonderful Tulip Farm, which is located in Woodburn, Oregon. It was a bright sunshiny day, but there had been rain the night before, so the fields were a bit wet, but the tulips were absolutely breathtaking! Not since I visited Solvang, near Santa Barbara, California way back in the 1960's, have I seen so many beautiful tulips. There were every color imaginable and all sizes and shapes. I had no idea that tulips came in so many varieties. I wanted samples of every bulb they had planted, but had no idea where I would plant them!

The whole setting was a picture-taking paradise. Thank heavens for digital cameras! I think between Dean and I, we must have taken at least a hundred different photos. We plan to visit the farm again next year. We brought home two planted bowls (pots) for our enjoyment here on the coast. One is a white one, and the other is a red one with pinkish tips. They are both enjoying a nice spot in our front yard, along our sidewalk to the front porch.

All in all, it was a wonderful day away from the coast and the gloomy rain. Nothing like flowers to lift the spirits -- and we were blessed with sunshine!
