Color is everywhere!

Daffodil
Bleeding Heart
Creeping phlox
Lamium
Who knew there were so many sizes, shapes, colors, etc. of tulips? (This is just a very small tip of the iceburg.)
Isn't spring just the best? It's an awakening of the sleeping flowers and trees. The grass is greening up, temperatures are warm but not super hot yet, the tulips and other spring flowers are beautiful. It just makes me glad to be alive and thankful for the beauty God has created.
I have yet to make it to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. I'd planned to go this year but the rain came during the times when I'd hoped to go. I guess I'm a wussy when it comes to enjoy things in the rain - I just decided I'd pass and maybe try next year. However, each year when they offer their tulip bulbs for $3/dozen for premium bulbs, I'm a sucker for that sale. I never know what will come up the next spring, but in all the years I've been buying those bulbs, I have yet to be disappointed!
