Buckets of fresh tulips, yellow, white, fuschia, red and pink, greeted me as I popped into the grocery store yesterday. Resist? I couldn't. I didn't even try. Three bunches of these pale pink beauties found their way into my basket.
They sit now, in a polished silver jug, on my living room mantel. I walk into the room and my eye is drawn there. I feel the corners of my mouth lifting. Grey and grizzle may reign outdoors, but tulips bloom on my mantel.

Flowers always bring a smile and I love tulips as well! Enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! And such a wonderful shade of pink! You did a nice job photographing them.
ReplyDeleteOh, Lorrie. I looked when I was in a grocery store yesterday and saw one sad looking bunch of tulips. I've been craving them and will have to try another place.
ReplyDeleteYour pink ones are soft and delicate. Although I can't see the silver jug, I can imagine it gleaming in the light. Maybe I should go on a tulip hunt right now!
Thanks for linking to Sunlit Sunday and bringing flowers.

Oh, those are beautiful! I picked up a pot of yellow ones yesterday, and, like you, I am enjoying the cheer that they bring.
ReplyDeleteAhhh...very worth it for the collective smiles they bring. (I have yet to see any tulips in the market...guess they figure if we're buried in snow that no tulips are needed.)
ReplyDeleteI would love to have some real flowers right now. Too much snow and having more tonight and tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThat's it........ I'm off to buy some tulips!
ReplyDeleteOh- yes! tulips- the pale pink is so fresh! I can almost smell them...
ReplyDeleteTulips are one of my favorite flowers and I have seen them in the stores and have been tempted to buy them.. I need to soon as it will be a long time before mine see daylight. Coming from Sunlit Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThey would also make me smile, lovely colour. Have a wonderful week.Jen

Soft pink tulips - they're beautiful and I always buy a little bunch in our winter time too!
ReplyDeleteI still polish my silver Lorrie, I know the fashion now is letting it go black... not for me!!!
Don't they lift the spirits!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful, delicate pink....tulips lift my spirits...it was one of my father's favorite flowers in his garden.
ReplyDeleteThey are lovely! Sometimes we just need that little something to lift our spirit. Wishing you a wonderful week. Tammy
ReplyDeleteVery pretty.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a luxury to buy 3 buckets of tulips. You inspire me to pick up some pretty flowers when I am out on errands today.
ReplyDeleteThat pork tenderloin looks fantastic. I am going to show that picture to Steve as inspiration for my dinner tonight.
Sooo pretty! I'll be looking for some at my grocer's, and definitely some fragrant hyacinths.
