My niece, Kerry, is celebrating her birthday today. Instead of my traditional cupcake I have sent her tulips. It is getting to be close to Easter. I wonder how many times Kerry's birthday has fallen on Easter Sunday. It is random but of course does happen. Kerry lives in Denver near her Mom and brother and his family and near my daughter's family too. She went to college in Boulder...a beautiful place to be. When she was little and visiting my house she finished her dinner by saying that she was ready for dessert. I said, "but Kerry, you have not eaten your dinner." To that she replied, " I am satisfied from my dinner." When challenged again she answered, "but Aunt Denny I am not satisfied with my dessert...so I need my dessert." This is a phrase I do use from time to time when I really just want to skip right to dessert. Thank you, Kerry, for your childhood wisdom I hope you have a very happy birthday!

Tulips in Washington
Tulip, originally uploaded by cabanagirl.
tulip fields in Skagit Valley, Washington, in April
Every April there is a tulip festival in the Skagit Valley, Washington. It was going on this weekend while I was in Seattle. We didn't go this year but we have in year's past. The tulips are blooming everywhere in Seattle and they are beautiful and come in so many colors. Just a walk down the street will offer up hundred of colors and varieties. Brad has yellow orange and red ones blooming right outside their back deck. This pink one is my fave.
