Happy Cinco de Mayo

We drove thru the countryside south of us to North Manchester to look at the tulips today. They are different each spring. One of the residents strolling thru the campus looking at the flowers told me that yes they do dig up the bulbs each year and plant new ones in the fall. It was 77 degrees so pretty warm outside.

Some of the tulip blooms had been snipped off (done blooming), but as you can see above some had not opened fully yet.

Not too much else blooming. There were some hyacinths, a few daffodils (already done), some other little blue flowers, small irises.

 Several of the tulips planted this year had a wonderful fragrance to them.

My husband humored me while I wandered around. He sat on a bench and enjoyed the sunshine. We weren't quite ready for supper so we drove around Manchester University's campus a bit. Then we had wonderful steak fajitas at El Mezquite. The only special I saw for Cinco de Mayo was a sale on Margaritas. It was a nice outing.
