Tulip time – yay! Whoever’s house this is – What a beautiful display. That’s a -lot-a bulbs!

Oh that reminds me, WSB did a piece last year highlighting a few of the more impressive flower displays in the neighborhood. I think it would be great to make that an annual tradition, even if it feels like we’re in the latter half of the blooming season right now. :)

We took this picture in one of those areas, where at the time neighbors were calling their collective displays “Gatewood Gardens.” However, before publishing this today, I checked and found that the social-media account they were using then has been deleted, so they may not be doing that any more and may not want specific-location publicity – we just happened to see it on a regular walking route. Lots of flowers in the area – thanks to the people who’ve gone to such trouble to provide for springtime beauty for passersby – TR

Sorry, comment time is over.
