A Touch of Springtime Color

After a horrible winter things are beginning to green up around here.  It is about time!   I got so tired of being stuck in the house with a foot of snow on the ground for two solid months.  I did not think spring would ever arrive.  It is here, however, and the bitter memories of  February and March are fading away.  It it time to enjoy the sunshine and the flowers.  

My wife took these pictures of some flowers that are blooming around the yard.  I really like the lilac with the Monarch butterfly sitting on it.  The aroma of lilacs is my favorite of any flower.   My favorite all round flowers are tulips.  My wife planted a bunch of them here and there around the property.  Speaking of tulips, the pink flower pictured above is supposed to be one.  If so, it is certainly not the typical type of tulip I am familiar with.  It is pretty though.

I hope you are able to get outside and enjoy the plants and flowers as they resurrect from their hibernation.
