Reminders of Spring

It was cool today but I enjoyed these flowers at the Madisonville house. I think my Mother planted this little flower bed. She passed away in 1990 so these bulbs have some age on them. Funny how some years they are beautiful and sometimes they hardly come up at all.  I will never forget the spring 2008 because even my dad commented on the amount of tulips blooming and how they'd never been so pretty. He died suddenly a few weeks later. Now, I always watch for the bulbs to emerge and hope they put on a "show" for me.
