Tulips

Tiptoe from your pillow,
to the shadow of a willow tree,
and tiptoe through the tulips with me.
Tiny Tim and his ukulele

I'm sad to say that both my wife and I watched Tiny Tim sing this song on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Johnny kept a pretty straight face...I did'nt. It was horrible. He would have been gonged on the Gong Show. The judges on American Idol would have hidden under the table. He could have been a contestant on America Has No Talent. We even watched a year later when he married Miss Vicki, again on the Tonight Show. We're gluttons for punishment.
Enough about him.

We know it's not the real Holland, but our Holland, Michigan has Their Tulip Festival this weekend. They have a huge arts and crafts show, a quilt show, hudreds of cloggers in the streets, and tiny little cloggers in the park. And, of course, tulips. In my backyard, we only have white and yellow tulips. In Holland, there is every color under the sun. Red and yellow, black and white, all are precious in his sight. Quite a sight to see. A feast for the eyes and nose. We went last year, but are not going this year. Mothers Day dinner at my house. Supposed to be a nice day on Sunday. 65 and sunny.

The tulip is a pretty flower. I like it when it opens up and you can see the guts.
