A Farewell to Tulips 2015
Tulip season only lasted about a week.
Soon after we planted them, summer heat made them wither.
But that week was magical.

Stevie Wonder's Sunshine
Today is Stevie Wonder's 65th birthday. Happy birthday, Stevie!
Stevie Wonder's Sunshine
expectant hush
hands on the keyboard
reggae beat
You Are the
Sunshine of My Life
dreadlocks
swinging
he rocks
to the rhythm
harmonica-playing
human metronome
seventeen thousand people
dancing in the aisles
clapping so hard
our palms are on fire
don't go yet
one more
encore
and we see Stevie feels it
radiating the stadium
and we feel Stevie sees it
through his dark glasses
sunshine of
reflected
love

Tulip Party Time!
On Monday, we visited our local garden centre in search of 22 pots of tulips.
When we got there, we found that other tulip appreciators had arrived first, leaving very little. We bought what they had left and then went to the grocery superstore, where we found a great supply of unopened tulips. Thanks, Loblaws! You saved the day!
It's a Tulip Party and you are invited!

Signs of Spring...
at last!
Although the tulips aren't here yet, I'm thrilled to see the first tree leaves, aglow with sunlight.
Until it's tulip season, I can look at these:
