Tulips in our side flower bed, Fairfield Glade, Tennessee. April 11, 2010.

Well, we didn’t tip-toe through the tulips, but rather alongside them. We’ve had some beautiful tulips this spring, many of them in a flower bed that Betsy and I built along the side of the house. We also had a few tulips in the front of the house.
The weekend cold front has passed through without any frost in our area, for which we are grateful. So I was able to return to regular Spring chores in the yard. The cooler weather didn’t slow down the grass, so I got to mow the grass in addition to the other chores in the yard.
It’s a good thing exercise is healthy because all of the beauty of Spring also means there is always something that needs to be done in the yard.

Me too, hearing Tiny Tim! Friend of mine posted pictures of fields and fields of tulips. She and her friends did exactly that – tiptoed through them! Tulips are so gorgeous and so short-lasting. George, your yard looks lovely – worth all the effort you put into it!
