One of my favorite things about spring at my Springville house are my tulips. (Sadly, it is also one of the swine-deer favorites as well!)
I have all those beautiful yellow to apricot colored tulips featured yesterday. They live on what I refer to as my island (a kidney shaped planter at the corner of our lot). Ann gave me some deep purple parrot-beak tulips several years ago that also live on the island.
But right up by my front door is this one bright red black-hearted tulip. I just love to look down into the bowl of it. Some years it has been enormous, perhaps 4" in diameter, this year it is smaller but still just as beautiful.
I love the fact that these sweet little flowers come back every year and every morning that wake up and they are still there my heart just sings... but I also realize that any day now I might awaken to nothing but stalks with all the heads nibbled off... and if that happens *it will just have to be ok*
