my parents came into town this past week, which is the reason for my radio silence. we went over to keukenhof on a sunny day to check out the tulips. basically this place is a giant park/tulip farm where you can wander around and look at thousands and thousands of flowers. then take a wine pit-stop, and then look at more flowers. you have to like flowers in order to do this. it was very beautiful and the air smelled like…. flowers. if you are ever in holland in the spring. i recommend a tulip farm.

i won’t over whelm you with gobs of flower photographs. but here are a few.

now the fields of tulips.

and of course. a herring and pink wine picnic.

(i just love mini bottles of wine. i want to stock my whole refrigerator up with them.)
