...oh, those tulips...




...thank you...
...Trader Joe's...
...I love you...

...what I love...
...is that for $4.99...
...I can have such lasting joy...

...there was this beautiful little bundle...
...of nine tulips...
...in the most delicate shade of pink...

...I know...
...you are shocked...
...that I didn't bring home white ones...

...well...
...what can I say...
...these kept whispering to me...
...'take us home, take us home'...

...they really ganged up on me...
...those adorable little flowers...

...they have lasted for a week...
...always wanting to sit for photographs...

...one day I tried a black background...
...it's just okay...
...I still like my white...

...they are getting a tiny bit droopy today...

...but they are still begging to be photographed...
...this one especially leaned over...
...to get my attention...

...the pink is even more pale and delicate...
...than when I brought these little sweet tulips home...

...and then of course...
...I had to play in Photoshop...
...this creation I called:  Flowers for You...

...hope you enjoy your bouquet...

...Life is Good...

"When you arise in the morning,
give thanks for the food
and for the joy of living.  
If you see no reason for giving thanks,
the fault lies only in yourself."
