The tulips are magnificent this year in the cool, wet weather. John placed a large order last fall with the mail order company "Breck's." Tulips bulbs don't multiply and peter out after a few years, although the big yellow and red Darwin varieties seem to last the longest in the ground.
Easter was beautiful in Seattle. We had a brilliant sunrise instead of the gradual lightening of gloom like this morning. Now we're back to rain for the rest of the week and still a good 10 degrees colder than usual. On the bright side, all this late mountain snow is good for the summer water supply.
