In case yesterday’s photo wasn’t bright enough, today I bring you to the center of a bright yellow tulip.

Ah, the epitome of spring. This is one of my favorite photos from this season so far … can you name the flower?

My husband, dad, and I had tickets to the Royals baseball game last Friday. You may have seen my grumblings about the snow, or if you live in the Midwest you were probably grumbling with me. The game was postponed and rescheduled for Monday at 1:10 p.m. Unfortunately my husband couldn’t go since he’s a teacher, but thanks to my accumulated personal days, I was able to go with my retired parents. For once, the weather was perfect. Despite the fact that we lost in the 11th inning to the White Sox, it was actually a really exciting game … for baseball. π

This is part of an adorable housewarming gift we received recently. I can’t wait for it to warm up (for good!) so I can add this little guy to my garden.

Looking out my window today at work….
Me: God, is that SNOW?
God: Why yes, yes it is.
Me: But … WHY?
God: I work in mysterious ways.

It’s funny how babies will sleep through anything β even a mob of 2,500 people at a 5k run.

I’m thoroughly enjoying the bright sunny skies and warm temperatures. Yesterday I went for a run through several neighborhoods near my home, and I got to enjoy the scenery with everyone’s flowers and trees blossoming. (Side note: I’m not looking forward to temps plummeting into the 30s later this week.)

Kansas City is known for its vast number of fountains, second only to Rome. This fountain in the Quality Hill district is one of my favorites.

I love how these bright yellow tulips are just reaching for the sun!
