Tulip Time

I’ve been waiting.  And waiting.  Finally the tulips put forth buds.  The buds refused to open.  Day after day I would look to see if they had opened.  They hadn’t.  They were acting like refuseniks.  Promises made, but carry-through delayed.

Finally, they are open.  It was worth the wait.

I love the addition of reds to the yellow and white of daffodils.  Makes things look more cheery.  (Cherry?)

Nice color combos

Fortunately, not all the tulips are red.  Some are yellow.

The high temp today could reach into the 80s.  I can stand it.
