The Daintiness of Spring

I love tulips. They are a sure sign of spring, when along with their sisters the daffodils, pop up through the dirt even before winter has left. They give us hope, especially when we can't bear to think about another day of cold and grey.

I had these tulips in the guest room while Sara was here, and then Stein moved them to the dining room table. They were definitely ready for the trash, but I thought they looked so pretty in the afternoon sun streaming through the windows. Like they were dancing and celebrating in the light.
