My own Pella



Springtime means tulips, daffodils, lilacs, birds nesting, bees buzzing, you get the idea. We planted some tulips last fall, and much to my surprise (I know, I shouldn't be surprised about this) they are up and flowering, and looking quite pretty and fresh this spring. So every day when we go in and out our front door we see them, standing proudly, with their pretty pink blooms. We visited Pella's annual Tulip Festival a few years ago, and were wowed by a huge display of tulips ALL over the city, masses of bright colors, like a petal tapestry woven through the streets and parks. So to have just a little taste of it back home is a thrill to me.
