Every Spring I fall in love with tulips all over again…
There is something about Spring tulips
that just makes my heart sing,
and I love to fill my home with them
For Easter I wanted to have tulips on the kitchen island
as the centerpiece for our lunch buffet
I got purple and pink/orange tulips
and put them in a vase tied with coordinating ribbons
I did buy them early in the week,
and kept them in the refrigerator for a couple of days,
and then on Thursday before Easter I trimmed them
and put them out, hoping they would open up
and be perfect for Easter Sunday…
Saturday night they looked great, but Sunday morning…
Oh my!
“Why are your tulips falling over?” asked HHjr…
“Hey Gigi, what happened to your flowers?” asked Big E
What to do?!?
Luckily just then, DD and her family arrived …
And~
Charlie Brown had an armful of tulips for me!
Perfect, fresh tulips to the rescue!
I trimmed them and stuck them right in with their droopy cousins
and the centerpiece was saved!
Over the course of the next few days,
I had so much fun watching them dance and change…
Everyday they seemed to get bigger and crazier!
I think the thing I like best about tulips
is that they seem to have their own free will,
you can arrange them anyway you like,
but they won’t stay that way!
