Ah.... the dutch tulips....

End of April, beginning of may is the best time of year. Go to the Keukenhof in Lisse in The Netherlands, close to Schiphol airport Amsterdam.

Eric, your Dutch tourguide on demand.

From what I understand, our place in the US has has a stunning array of tulips, daffodils and hycinths in the spring. Not having ever been there at this time, I'll have to take it on faith.

Today when we saw the bus adverts with photos of tulips and the fake tulips 'planted' outside I told my daughter of the magnificent spring we spent on the farm when she was 4 years old and how the smell of clover in the fields was so over powering you'd have to roll your windows up for fear of suffocating on their sweetness.

Sometimes there arethings in this world, so magnificent and yet so ordinary that you wonder if God's special gift to you was not all the obvious things: like perfect children and love and pets and health -- but rather the ability to recognise the brilliance in a field of wild clover.

I so totally agree Mary.

Bubbs, do you think its age or wisdom or both that allows us to be so bloody deep?

Your wisdom......and my aged bottle of red wine, m'dear!!!! Oh, and bad eyesight so I can't see my lines..........lol.

Big high school reunion this year in November. Was considering dealing with my 'lines' when my son said; Mom! No! You look great!

Smart boy
