Tulip Time

  “A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone.It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose.It doesn’t have to. It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower.” 

~ Marianne Williamson

Walk with me through the tulips fields here in Oregon.

The Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival takes place every year, but I have only attended a couple times because there are usually crowds and long lines. With the pandemic they have organized it; so only a certain number are given tickets each hour. It was much better organized and I decided this is the year to go again.

They even had some delicious good carts.

My "live-in gardener" and I chose to have chopped salads that were absolutely yummy!

But now step in my shoes and let's just enjoy tulips!

 







Each row was stunning and often I would say "this is my favorite". In the end, they all were my favorites.


It was cloudy with the threat of rain. There were a few puddles to scamper around; but it didn't start pouring until we were in our car headed home.



Aren't the fields of colorful stripes gorgeous?

I loved them all.



 

And soon enough there will be roses.

Have a terrific weekend, dear friends!
