springing forward


one of my favorite things about springtime is the arrival of tulips!
they bring back memories of riding on a train through holland many years ago
and looking out on fields saturated with delicious tulips in full bloom.....





and i always think of my little dutch sweetie when i see them!





but seeing tulips also reminds me to look forward,
because wrapped up in each one of those blooms is the promise
of renewal and fabulous springtime celebrations to come!

i hope you're having a beautiful spring,
(even in spite of this icky cold weather we've been having!)
and i'm sending you many heartfelt wishes for an Easter
filled with blessings abundant!
 enjoy your weekend, sweet bloggy honey bunnies!  xox
