This is the view from the window of my sister and brother-in-law’s condo in Amsterdam. We picked up the tulips for Thanksgiving from a little flower stand down the street on Beethovenstraat. Love waking up here in the morning!

I couldn’t resist the tulips
While my cute Mum was in town for Easter, she decided to brighten our Easter dinner table with these beautiful tulips. Now 3 days later, they are still lovely. As I was feeding the kids their morning eggs, I noticed the light coming in behind the vase. I am merely an amateur when it comes to photography, but I do love taking pictures. In this moment, I just couldn’t resist. I even moved chairs and placements for one of them. So lovely.
Springtime in Kansas City’s Country Club Plaza
It is a beautiful week in Kansas City. The tulips are in full bloom.
Pansies are everywhere, even in a “wishing well”.
The trees are starting to bud.
The Plaza is all decked out for Easter, with an oversized rabbit, turtle and other brightly colored animals for children to climb on and be photographed with.
Most exciting, the first of the Plaza’s fountains have been turned on. It is our own little bit of heaven. Pomona, an original sculpture by Donatello Gabrielli, is the Roman Goddess of the Earth. She stares out on the Plaza as though aware of our comings and goings.
The Plaza is at it’s very best. Ready for tourists and locals alike.
Have a great day!
