Spring Fever




We have spring fever – bad! And these lovely tulip photos ought to pass the infection on to you too! Don't these flowers make your heart melt? 

We took a long drive this past weekend and marveled at all the seasonal changes that are taking place. And we pay close attention to the unfolding landscape when we go on our routine walks around the subdivision. The hillsides around us are looking glorious! 


I am still cranking away the work and anxiously waiting to wrap it up the end of next week. As a joke, I am referring to this employment closure as retirement #4! Two of the three consulting jobs I’ve held since my official retirement in late 2007 have consumed most of the past two years. It has been a struggle to try to improve my photography skills and continue the blog during that time. A little breathing room is going to be a welcomed change. Whew! 

On a semi-regular basis, I am going to start participating in a Wordless Wednesday posting and link up with Kent Weakley's blog. And the first one is tomorrow! I hope you will like it.

  2. I didn't realize it was your 4th retirement. I think you should be happy that you still have what it takes to do your job. I'm so wilted, I don't think I could go for a full timer anymore. LOVE your tulip, my aren't quite open yet, but spring is fabulous.

  3. If it is wordless, it must mean a picture...

    Yay for Retirement #4! Of course, with that many retirements under your belt, there may be a #5??

    The tulip is gorgeous. Just look at those striations.

  5. I love that first one. I made some flower pictures today too. The weather has been so nice. I just hope we won't have an evil summer or another April tornado outbreak.

  8. I think of candy a lot obviously, because that petal looks just like spun candy to me. Makes me want to lick it. That can't be normal.
