For The Storm Forlorn



To all of you who have had enough. This bouquet of spring tulips are for you.


And this bowl of juicy strawberries.


No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow.

  2. What a pretty post. Our families up north have just about had enough. I don't remember it being quite so bad. I sure you have cheered up some folks.

  3. I am on the perimeter of the storm. We are only receiving cold rain right now. But I wanted to say, what a thoughtful post. I know all those housebound and covered with ice and snow have something to look forward to.

  5. What a welcome burst of color! I crave color at this time of year ... I was just looking at the jpg files of all my spring and summer gardens this morning, as the snow came down. It's pretty and all, but I am beginning to feel ready for Springtime, so I did a bit of a time travel via those pictures!

    Stay warm and safe in this next big blow ... looks like it could be a doozy!

  6. We've had a warmer day here, with a hint of sunshine. It was still daylight at 5 pm. There is hope. I must go and buy some tulips!!!

  7. I nearly bought a bouquet of tulips at the market last week! But I resisted the expense, and just a few days later someone brought us a red bouquet of them! My favorite flower of all. :)

  14. I wish I could teach you to knit. It is so easy, and I'd be glad to do it. It is also very relaxing... so if you're ever in Switzerland, do stop by!!

  18. Yes, before we know it it will be Spring! We have to hang on just a few more months :D I hope the recent storm did not bring too much snow your way!

  19. What beautiful yellow tulips. There are signs of Spring here in Florida, yes. I wish I could send you a warm breeze. It was tropical today. A little on the muggy side. Close your eyes. There. Did you feel it? The warmish breeze I just sent your way? I hope so. Anytime, you need another, drop by and visit. Take care. Brianne

  20. I can't imagine what you're going through with this mega storm! Exciting and scary and beautiful but deadly! So I'm sure those pictures will brighten everyones days. It's dull old grey sky and rain in the UK so they've brightened up my day too! X

  21. Such a beautiful quote...seems many of us (bloggers) have spring tulips on our minds!

  22. We sure needed those images today. More snow on Saturday? I am going into hibernation.

  23. Beautiful!!! Florida is the only state not to receive any snow. We are freezing and wet. At least Mother Nature should grant us one snow day (smile).

  31. What a beautiful post and much needed. I long for tulips. We planted some in the rose garden last fall and I so hope they come up and put on a show. We planted a mix of red and pink--that will make me very happy. I also love the strawberries--so beautiful too.
    Happy Saturday Friend,
    Amy

  36. I needed the reminder that Spring will come as it snowed AGAIN last night. Happily, it's "warmer" today (39 degrees, so it's all relative). I'm hoping that some of the ice will melt.
