The tulips have been glorious this spring and I just returned from a walk around the neighborhood where many, many cheery clumps of tulips bobbed their heads in the light breeze.
“Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food, and medicine to the soul.” ~ Luther Burbank
While the neighbors’ tulips are still in full glory, some of mine are already on their way out. But there’s no hiding a tulip’s grandeur, even in those final days.
I mean, I can only hope to look this vivid and interesting on my deathbed. (Maybe I can do without the spider, though.)
Tulips, I salute you.
