My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams.
The
thoughts grow as freely as the flowers,
and the dreams are as beautiful.

When it looks like this outdoors, flowers make all the difference. The promise of the brown bulb, anticipation of what will come, make the time ’til spring pass a bit more quickly.

Doesn’t look like spring is coming to Vermont anytime soon!
How nice for you to have a breath of spring in the house, especially with all of this mad snow! I am definitely doing something like that next winter!
I will try not to whine as much. At least we have sprouting.
That’s it…I’m buying flowers on the way home.
That’s is so nice – the flowers – not all that snow.
I never think to do things like that!! Thanks for sharing!!
Gorgeous! I like to get bulbs inside too, because believe it or not, it stays too WARM here for most bulbs. Now I need to be on the lookout for tulips at Costco.
Oh.My.God. And I’m not talking tulips here.
(Which, by the way, must indeed be soul-salvaging.)
yes, it is all about the promise isn’t it?
looking at all that snow, i think there is the promise of a good mud season 😉
good heavens!
That’s the prettiest forcing vase I’ve ever seen! The tulips are lovely; I’m happy you have something spring-like to look at!
Oooh, I’m going to look for some spring to bring into my house tomorrow. Really pretty.
From the looks of it, you might be dug out by May. And I think I might buy some tulips tomorrow, it’s still way too dry and brown here.
LOVE those tulips! Kind of like ‘Angelique’ but with more yellow instead of pinks. You should come up with a colorway like that! Thanks for another shot of the roots! Boy, you guys look buried up there in the Kingdom!
I hate snow ! but it’s probably really good for the water table or something. How do the llamas like that deep stuff? And the sheep? Do they get snowballs in their belly wool? Those tulips are a godsend. Thanks for sharing!
such lovely tulips.
spring is coming.
such lovely tulips.
spring is coming.
That picture should inspire a new colorway. It’s breathtakingly lovely! 🙂
Thank you for posting such beautiful pictures.
oh, those tulips are magnificent… we have no snow here and it is warmer than there, but still your forced tulips look like beautiful spring to me
Wow, you sure got a lot of snow. I haven’t seen that much since I was growing up many years ago. Our winters have changed SO much here in Virginia.
Oh nice, very nice, your tulips is beautiful (and your yarn also).
Would you like send me lot of snow ? 😉
The amount of snow at your place is stunning. Sure I knew there’d been another snowstorm that way but, that’s serious snow.
Returning from meeting this afternoon I spied the daffodils blooming in my neglected flowerbed! Our neighbor is puttering around on his riding mower at this moment.
I’m loving The Blues Arequipa yarn! It makes for wonderful to knitting.
