Beautiful day in the neighborhood

Well it seems with all the rain we had earlier this month, we earned the sun-filled days we've had lately. The change that takes place from Winter to Spring puts a smile on my face every year. This week especially as I enjoyed the perfect weather to bike the short 2 mile commute into work and came home to my favorite flowers blooming in our front yard: tulips!

I love the surprise of tulips popping up. We had no idea they were there and I was literally jumping for joy when I saw them. And still remain giddy when I walk towards the front door and see them there. I guess I'm starting to see why people enjoy gardening. But I've got to say, this was even better since it required no work on my part. (As renters, I am far to lazy to actually plant anything myself.)
