Tulip Bouquet for my Mother

The tulips are beautiful this year.



More than one person has commented on them and admired them aloud to me.



I gave you all the credit.


They said, "Who needs to go to the Tulip Festival?"


 I smiled modestly on your behalf.


But they are right.


These are just as beautiful as any I've seen in a professional garden.


I know that you are cold right now, and so I send their love to warm you. 


We know they are beautiful because of your love and hard work.


 I've been working on different kinds of flowers. 


These ones require a lot of hard work too, and patience and love.



And bring a similar kind of delight when I step back and look at how beautiful they are.



Thank you, Mom, for teaching me to love flowers.

I spoke too soon...

This is the face of Spring in our parts.
