Your photos of the wee ones are better than ever surrounded by that glorious colour of the tulips. I wonder if the farmer has ever been asked by hospital or care home auxiliary groups or churches. If they could be notified before the tulips are cut. Think of the smiles those lovely tulips would have created being passed on to so many groups especially when it's so close to Mother's day. I remember as a teenager going to the daffodil fields to pick and then sell to raise money for our church group. <br />Imagine a bunch of teenagers spending a day away from their smart phones and passing tulips and smiles on to the elderly in the community...just thinking of the possibilities...Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747219456841194840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-17266570985246101572012-05-03T18:49:46.031-07:002012-05-03T18:49:46.031-07:00Absolutely gorgeous pictures.

They made such wonderful backdrops for your beautiful granddaughters. Maggie in the red tulip field was so delightful and to see Lucy already able to stand in the field was such a pleasant surprise! <br /><br />I didn't realize the tulips are being grown only for their bulb! I thought that the flowers were cut and sent to florists for bouquets. I'm glad the girls were able to gather a bunch to enjoy! It was interesting to see them being cut--a different perspective from former years.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429786372649785047.post-77222017624529629492012-05-03T08:20:20.000-07:002012-05-03T08:20:20.000-07:00Such a a beautiful photo op with your grandgirls! ...Such a a beautiful photo op with your grandgirls!
