Oops did I spell that wrong? I meant TULIPS and an angel. 
When Rusty and I moved in to this place, we planted 105 tulip bulbs; 75 red, 10 orange, 10 purple and 10 white. Last year, all of them came up. This year, we got about 30 orange, 30 purple and only two reds! I was kinda pissed about the reds but what can you do?
I didn't alter the colors in any of these pictures. I personally think the photo place oversaturated them, especially the reds.
Orange with yellow on the edges:
For some reason, the petals of the orange bent out instead of in. Makes for an interesting look tho.
Purples which look pink in these pictures:
I took those inside after I had cut them. I took a ton of pictures but forgot to set up my tripod so all the rest are blurry.
My two reds:
And one of only 5 whites that came up:
Caught that bug in the act.
Now for the angel.
Last Friday, I went to my sister's house for my Godson Jack's first birthday. Jack was in a walker, zooming around the kitchen and dining room. My brother in law was taking a mini pizza out of the oven and when he leaned down to close the door of the stove, little Jack zoomed over and reached up to grab the plate. He put his little hand right in the steaming hot pizza and burned it on the sauce and cheese. We rinsed his hand, put lotion on it, tried to get him to hold a cold washcloth... Finally my sister gave him some Motrin and put him to bed. Not a very good birthday party, I'd say.
I went back on Sunday for Mother's Day and this kid couldn't be happier. He had two huge blisters on the front of his right thumb and another big one on his palm. But don't you know, this kid was all smiles. I just love this kid. Here's the angel clapping his hands for Aunt Tiesha and Uncle Ruddy:
