ReplyDeleteHad to come and deliver another post after reading yours, yes I have read The Riverton. It was a great story.
ReplyDeleteSo many beautfil tulips and words of wisdom. You have brightened my day already.
ReplyDeleteHi Rett... Beautiful Pictures! I like the unusual view into the bowl of the tulip!

Very beautiful tulips. Very lovely variety of colors.
ReplyDeleteYour yellow tulips are like cups of sunshine! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteAmanda
Wow! I love the special effects/frames. It's clear that I still have a lot to learn.
ReplyDeleteSo colourful tulips! I agree, they are like sunshine in your garden. Have a nice week.
ReplyDeleteA very colorful post, I love your tulips! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI love tulips. I don't grow them here (too lazy to plant every year as it's not cold enough). I have to get my tulips at the grocery. Wonderful color. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteRett, what beautiful colorful tulips. Such great photography, too. Thanks for getting the word out about my giveaway by adding it to your sidebar. I know I need a button. I want one with my header. Do you know who I can get one from. I don't know how to make one.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kim
Your tulips are two of my favorite colors. How I wish I had a vase of them sitting on my kithen table. Your photos are stunning and such beautiful mosaics. Your are truly talented. Thanks for sharing so much beauty. Stella
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful, happy yellow tulips you have! Can't wait to see your peonies...
ReplyDeleteHi Rett!!!!
ReplyDeleteMY oh My those tulips are amazing!!!!!That is my 2nd daughter's favorite flower!!!I am thinking it might just be mine too!!!!I wish I could grow those here, I may ask, maybe they would grow here in the winter time????
Your pictures of all your flowers are stunning, such perfect color and clarity.
Oh, the item I found and bought was a CROWN , a large one at that, a cookie cutter, my daughter wants to make the sandwiches for Camdyn's birthday party in that shape, I found it the other night after the movies!!!I was buying a few treasures( a blog post to come soon ) and I turned and saw those and almost fainted as we were just talking about how we might not find them and then if we did they might be small, these are perfect!!!!
Camdyn's 2nd birthday is a Princess theme this year, my daughter has birthday themes for a few more years planned!!!!Everyone assumed we would do a Princess theme last year at her 1st party, bu it was Camdyn's fairy 1st birthday with a fairy garden theme!!!!
The title this year is so clever and cute too!!!!!Some of our pesty relatives read my friends comments so I cannot give anything away just yet!!!!
Hope you had a fun week end, Yes do a picnic with your darling Caroline, she would love it and I know you, it would be an amazing picnic basket of great food!!!!
Enjoy your week
hugs,
jamie

ReplyDeleteTulips make me happy! I took a few photos of ours when I got home. They were almost past their prime, but still pretty. I may have to try a mosaic of my own.

Have a wonderful week.

They're sooo pretty! What a cheery way to start the day, thank you! I'm going to save the wonderful quotes, just for daily inspiration.

Hi Rett!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tulip info for the state of AZ, I will try getting some bulbs before the fall!!
I bought some fresh flowers tonight for a pic appt for the little one tomorrow, daughter said get Bright yellow, and I know she meant more gold then yellow, so I settled on cute happy daisys, I could not decide between sunflowers, tulips and the daisys, and I made a very big girl decision on my own and got the daisys!!!!
Have a great week end
hugs,
jamie
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing at MM. :)
ReplyDeleteLove tulips, but the peonies in your header made me especially happy!
ReplyDeleteRett, your tulips are fabulous as were the quotes. Thank you for sharing both. How many bulbs did you plant? Can't wait to see the iris in bloom.
