Spring time in Iowa is a beautiful time of year after the first rains get over with.  Everything turns green and the tulips burst forth.  These are double tulips, and I came close to missing out on getting these pictures because Spring happened so early this year.  As you can see, these are almost done flowering.

They just make me want to smile!  We had so many more planted, but the rabbits eat them off right as they come up!  Below is my favorite shot of our regular tulips that hubby planted last fall.  I definitely plan to plant more bulbs for next year.

Life has been crazy at work, and I am going to try to get back to more regular entries as soon as April is over with!  I love coming out and sitting on my patio enjoying the flowers.  They are just great stress-relievers so decided to share them with you.
