Winter Blues

I have the winter blues, I am so tired of cold weather. If I can't have snow then I want Spring.
When I find forced blooming bulbs in the store in January, I can't resist. Tulips are one of my top three favorite flowers and I enjoy them blooming inside almost as much as when the come up naturally in Spring. These are such a pretty color, pink with hints of yellow. ..They are a bit taller than usual and I know they won't last long, but that's ok. I still have a touch of Spring peaking around the corner. As a bonus they will bloom next year in our yard.

Today we (Deb, Lynn, Michael and I) visited the Western North Carolina Arboretum. Even at the end of January it was beautiful. The bonsai garden is amazing. I have never been there in the Winter before and I expected it to be desolate. Even with all my complaining about the cold, this does prove that all four seasons have their own beauty.
