Tribute to Tulips

wPinwheel_tulip

After three days the tulips are spent.  The leaves have wilted; the petals fallen.  Yesterday afternoon they were officially pronounced dead and laid to rest in the big green bin.  A sad end for such a happy little bouquet.

During their short stay they brightened up a corner of my home and posed without complaint for daily photo sessions.  They were the pastels of Easter; a breath of fresh air tinted with the scent of spring.

I enjoyed them so much I may just have to head to the local Publix and buy me some more.  Pink.  I hope they have pink ones this week.  I love pink tulips.
