Happy Memorial Day Weekend

For many, this weekend marks the end of school and the beginning of summer.  It's also the first official work holiday since New Year's.  For me, it's just been nice to be at home with absolutely no plans.   I've spent the past two days working in the yard, cleaning up flower beds, weeding, mulching, trimming, etc.  It's been nice to throw in some grilling and relax time too.   I wish I had some pictures of poppies to share with you for Memorial Day but instead, I'm sharing pictures from my recent visit to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm to enjoy the Tulip Festival in Woodburn, Oregon.

  5. HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY. I love tulips and wooden shoes always remind me of my favorite uncle. I remember being very little when he returned home from the service and he brought my aunt a pair of wooden shoes. I would try to walk in them...painful!!!! Cute pictures!
