A color field of sorts.

One of my favorite features of our little yellow house is the flower bed flanking our front porch. We had a glorious 80 year old pecan tree at our old house, so while we celebrated the shade in the summer I mourned each spring. This is our first true spring in the yellow house and I've taken full advantage by planting multi-colored tulip bulbs my mom brought from a recent trip to Amsterdam and daffodil bulbs.

             

I was so excited when I found my first little tulip sprout yesterday! I either have 1 very enthusiastic tulip or about 20 very lazy tulips, so I'm hoping the rest of them will pop up soon. In the mean time, I just had to share these beautiful landscape photos of the tulip fields of the Netherlands. The Netherlands are the world's top producers of these delicate beauties and I think their countryside just endeared me even more.

Go enjoy some fresh air!
