Tiptoe Through the Tulips
It has been a very quiet period since our December 1 post so I am sharing some of my local adventures. We had such a mild winter the tulips have started to bloom. I wanted to visit the tulip festival so I packed up Miss Courtney and Miss Blossom for the drive to American Village Festival of Tulips.
It is a little over an hours drive away. I have to say I was a bit disappointed since the tulip fields were not in full bloom, only a few rows. It was decided to open the festival early since some of the hundred thousand tulips were blooming. Tulips are for sale, you pull the tulip with the bulb and add them to your tote or basket. I should have waited another week to see more color. With that said, the tulips were beautiful so I may have to visit again. So many varieties!
Imagine how beautiful these fields will be in a few weeks
With so much rain the fields were very muddy, you should see my boots!
Muddy soil releases the tulip with ease
This was my favorite color that was in bloom
Miss Blossom was so helpful to Miss Courtney
And, Tulip cookies!
Other days I have been meeting up with friends for a little shopping and lunch
Some of these books may show up in my kitchen
Mountain Brook for lunch with Jenna and Ricki Jill for a little Valentine's Day fun
And, lunch with friends at a favorite Italian spot.
