From land to land; and in my breast


Spring wakens too; and my regret

Becomes an April violet,

And buds and blossoms like the rest.

  14. Matt, an organized explosion for the eye sounds WAY COOL, or it'll be the name for your coffee table book. Whatever.

  16. good thought Lady E...I wonder what those would look like hung up on a wall..to agriculture-ish? Maybe...

  17. Karen, those photos are amazing. I never really pictured, in my mind, how tulips were farmed. But like everything these days, it's such a business. I guess I was thinking, like an idiot, that they were raised freely in fields and picked by milkmaids with wooden shoes.
    Your Friend, m.

  18. Well Mark, what an idyllic image you had in your mind then. Yeah, I never really thought about the business side of it either. Still, what amazing farms, no?

  19. Sherilin, I missed your comment on here somehow! Hope you had a lovely Mother's Day as well, though judging by your post it sounded like you did :) I loved the red tulips pic too. But then, I'm a flower fanatic.

  20. Those are all flowers?! I have never seen anything like it! What I would give to see a flower in the first place (thanks weather), let alone be surrounded by so many in a field. Thanks for the cheerful images on a terrible, terrible day.

  21. well, you're very welcome, Ava. The weather here has been hideous for so, so long! But suddenly this past week has been warm and sunny. I swear three weeks ago I had a scarf on though.
