One of my New Year’s resolutions was to have fresh flowers
in my house weekly. Sometimes I buy
them at the store or at the local farmers market but this week, I was invited to
my friend’s property; she grows Tulips. The
fields are amazing, Tulips everywhere. They only grow for a short time, and she
always invites me during this week of the year.
She has taught me how to pick, so the live plants don’t get stepped on,
clip and carry the fresh picked Tulips so they don’t wilt before I get
home. In my Target basket are just a few
left, waiting to be placed in vases throughout the house.
Of course there is a barter system to all of this Tulip
love. I bake her two loaves of banana
bread, one with chocolate chips and walnuts and other plain. She also wanted my Target basket, but that
was a NO! Love her, but this is mine!
Spring is almost here, Enjoy!
