Tulips

Last year I was a flower maniac. I forced paperwhites, hyacinths, and crocuses. I had fresh flowers in a vase just about all the time. I planted bulbs outdoors so we could watch spring arrive. Flowers really and truly make me happy.

This year, as part of our Moving-Back-Into-An-Apartment blues, I completely spaced out about where I would force my bulbs. We don't have a basement anymore and a basement is the only good place to force bulbs, right? Yup...except for that cold, dark attic space through the large door in our bedroom!

This realization moved me right into the Didn't-Force-Bulbs-But-Could-Have blues.

So this weekend I splurged on some tulips from the grocery store. Just once.

And man. I'm glad I did.

Love, T.
