I’m writing a somewhat random post this evening, while giving a solemn nod to the families of those who lost their lives or were injured during the tragedy at the finish line of the Boston Marathon yesterday. I just don’t understand the hatred.
~ : : : ~
I took my camera to school today, along with my 60mm macro lens to get pictures of the new tulips blooming in one of the courtyards. I don’t know why someone at our school didn’t think of this sooner, because these bulbs are absolutely lovely.
I took my ground mat outside with me – it’s really an old beach mat that rolls up nicely. I use it to lie on the ground so I don’t ruin my clothes. I’m sure the children in the classrooms found my photo taking antics quite interesting.
Heard this on the way to school today:
Fighter – Steve Martin and Edie Brickell (click play arrow under photo)
Didn’t think I’d like it, but I did.
Perfect spring weather today.
Coming home through town.
Home, on the top of the hill, and violets are all over the yard.
The grass needs cut.
Heard this while driving home and felt like sharing.
I’d never heard it before and really liked it.

My husband made dinner again, something simple and chock full of carbs (burp). We had fresh Buitoni sweet Italian sausage tortelloni with marinara sauce. I love when dinner is made for me and this makes twice in four days. Not that I’m keeping track, mind you. What I should be keeping track of is the fact that it’s been pasta. Fattening.
It’s just nice to have dinner made for me. Until tomorrow, then ~

The tulips are really beautiful, Kate.
I am smiling as I read about your mat.
I carry around an old blue yoga mat with me when I am photographing flowers! Gotta do what you gotta do!
Love the tulips...and your randomness today. I love carbs...and could eat pasta every day. Yes, I could! But I am trying to reduce the carbs I eat. It's makes me kind of sad... Ah well. Hope the rest of your week is lovely.
Orange tulips, you in your nice clothes taking pics on a beach mat, sweet town and George! You lucky lucky human! :-)
Aloha
I enjoyed it too CG..love the vibrant tulips...and even more loooooove when someone else makes dinner..such a treat!
I love your little town Kate - and is that a tree in blossom in the distance?
all sounds pretty good Kate.
so lovely your husband is cooking dinner. lucky you.
meals are very ordinary here, especially while trying to clean house and sell.
;-(
my daughter flies to NYC this w'e for work. Wish I were coming too!
Having dinner ready and waiting is one of those small yet wonderful things that can really make a difference.
Beautiful tulips.
Trying to recall the last time hubs cooked dinner for me... LOL. Gorgeous flowers. Some skies at my place you might like.
;-)

hahaha, you couldn't lay down and take pics in our yard right now the clover and grass is so high. You'd have to stand up on your knees!
Love your pictures.
lovely tulips ...
Love the tulips! Perhaps a planting project for a class this fall?
Eh.. enjoy the pasta... and eat cake while you're at it. Live, I say :-)
Wow, awesome blog layout! How long have you been blogging for?
you made blogging look easy. The overall look of your site is fantastic, let alone the content!
Stop by my web site - http://sturdev.com/?qa=96/where-can-one-find-the-best-juicers-or-perhaps-blenders
You have very cool radio stations in MD.
And I LOVE having dinner made for me.
Such a treat.
random is good and your spring is so pretty....if our tulips are out around here, they have probably been pushed back down by the pounding rain :(
off to listen to your music....xo
Can I borrow him? I'd take dinner made for me any day. Any day at all...fattening too. I just don't care. I absolutely H A T E cooking dinner. I'm exhausted, no one likes what I want to cook, so why put in the effort?
Love ya. Love the pics.
Randomness is what makes life interesting! Tulips, quaint town, George, wild violets, and dinner waiting...nice!
Beautiful as always. xoxo And, if someone cooked dinner for me, you can bet I'd eat it too! Carbs and all!
Fascinating blog! Is your theme custom made or did
you download it from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog shine.
Please let me know where you got your design. Many thanks

Hmm is anyone else encountering problems with the images on this blog loading?
I'm trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it's the blog.
Any feed-back would be greatly appreciated.
Look at my web page ... children clothing
So awesome he is cooking again! I so miss pasta which I rarely have anymore. Sigh. Love that George in the background.
My daughter works in the Boston Public Library which is directly across the street from the bombing....Fortunately it was Patriot's day and she was home and I was visiting her and she was no where near the mayhem. I try to understand all this random violence but it is becoming too frequent.
Love your tulips:) and I have very similar taste in music as you but you are so much more up to date!
I'm amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that's equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is something not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about. Now i'm
very happy I stumbled across this in my search for something
relating to this.
Look at my site: callcenter.tcl.com
The tulip photographs are splendid. You really have a very good eye for composition Kate, be it through the lens or in the editing department.
missbr (aka Ms Soup)
May I simply just say what a comfort to discover a person that really knows what they are talking about online.
You certainly understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important.
A lot more people should check this out and understand this side of the story.
I was surprised that you are not more popular given that you surely
have the gift.
I love that photo of the violets with George in the background! It just makes me smile... :)
And having someone else cook dinner is the best!
xoxo
So glad you hubby is well enough to cook! What a blessing - and doubly so when you enjoy it so much :)
Beautiful pics as always :)
What lovely color on those tulips. And food always taste better when someone else cooks it for you, right? xo
