pink tulip love

i love pink tulips in the spring. 

they make me happy every time i look at the mantle. 

if i could i would douse the whole house

in pink tulip bouquets. 

but since that's not possible (hmm.. why not i am wondering?), 

i'll work on my plan for spring vegetable planting. 

the big garden clean-up continues! 

farmers' market flowers

fell for these at the south pasadena 

farmers' market yesterday. 

they are exuberant. 

and fill the living room with color 

and summer-time grace.
