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

The tulips are finally starting to bloom in Kansas City now that we’ve had a few spring-like days.

Now that we’ve had a few warm days and some nice rain, we’ve been doing a lot of yard work at our new house. We really have no idea what we’re doing, but we’ve attempted to lay some grass seed and keep moist. It should germinate in the next few days. We’ve also been clearing out the flower beds, raking, mowing, weed eating, and many other things that seem to keep us busy. (Coming from an apartment, we’re keeping Lowe’s in business!) While outside I ran into these random flowers. They are kind of pretty, but they seem to have spread throughout our yard, so I’m not sure if they’re weeds.
Coming up soon…a home tour! (Many bloggers may not care to see the inside of our home, but some of our friends who know personally us have been asking to see pics.)

Here’s a pretty pink flower for your Tuesday viewing pleasure, taken two years ago when trees were in full bloom. Still waiting this season…

I recently passed a downtown community garden on a walk. With our long winter and spring just beginning, nothing had been planted yet. I did find this tiny flower, which reminded me of baby’s breath. So delicate, yet so sturdy after surviving the harsh winter.

Happy Easter! We were happy to host Easter at our house this year – our first chance to “entertain” in our new home.

Here’s another still life of a daffodil. This photo reminds me of my Alma Mater, Pitt State, with its crimson & gold colors.

I shot the photo below this time last year. Oh, how I’m wishing for this again!

I won’t even express my opinion about yesterday’s snow and the eight more inches expected to pound Kansas City tomorrow. At the end of March. During Spring. Ok, maybe there was a little bit of opinion in that statement. But here’s a photo of beautiful spring daffodils … in the snow.

Can you tell what kind of flower this is? I noticed its leaf looked translucent when the sun was hitting it a few days ago, so I dropped what I was doing to snap a few photos.
