Prom Queen

Spring has sprung here in Northport. It's our first spring in this house and, whoa, it's just been breathtaking.

I didn't get a picture of the front walkway when it was covered in purple hyacinths, but here it is covered in tulips.  It's like the owners of our house had a sort of fireworks ethic with regard to the bulbs --one beautiful image is replaced by another more beautiful.  It's really stunning.

And then there was this beauty.  Doesn't she look like she is waiting to go to the ball?  I think she's beautiful.  In fact, I wrote a haiku about her --not a very GOOD haiku, but I wrote one nevertheless.

My friend Liz is writing a haiku every day as part of National Poetry month.  Go check out her blog for really GOOD haikus.  Also, Tanita is rocking the haikus, too.  Meanwhile, here's my paltry contribution:

Blushing, expectant
Splendid in her finery
Dances in the breeze

It doesn't exactly say what I want, but I'm done with it because I have other, more pressing tasks at hand.

Ahem:

This is the future site of the Cooper Organic Vegetable Garden, Northport Edition. It's just sitting there, like a blank canvas waiting for paint. I could not BE more excited.  I can almost taste the tomatoes!
