There is a freshness to it, a vibrancy that grabs one's attention and brings a smile. As I write that, I can see how those characteristics applied to the man as well.<br /><br />Have a wonderful day.

I normally don't like orange but I really adore the tulips you're showing us here. Since almost all the tulips in my own garden have vanished over the years I think I'm now tempted to buy some of the kinds you're showing in this post, even if they are orange. Orange is after all the colour of the tulipland Holland as you may know.<br />Thanks for the inspiration Carolyn. It is always such a delight to stop by your wonderful blog.<br />Marianflowersandhomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262453899981838266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-70222359070105752992013-05-25T05:40:10.132-03:002013-05-25T05:40:10.132-03:00Hi Carolyn

They were such a beautiful combination but they became played out. I planted so many lovely tulips last fall and squirrels got 90% of them. I'll have to plant smarter this year.

Because of that, we enjoy our tulips in the yard but miss out on the enjoyment of having them in the house. Any idea if that is true? I'm assuming it must not be true since you are obviously picking yours and yet your gardens are lovely each year. Any thoughts? <br /><br />Thanks!The Thriving Thrifterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967210282144234725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245215492918574322.post-11315357642121731742013-05-24T19:34:25.102-03:002013-05-24T19:34:25.102-03:00Very pretty, Carolyn!
