Sweet dreams are made of this…
Out of a sea of petals he came, bouquet raised like a delicate, fragrant trophy.
She’s wishing he was exiled to Holland.
This is New York. We stop to smell the yellow snow.
Love this. What a romantic husband 😊
Tiptoeing Through With You is a Pleasure
Nice dream. Spring can’t come soon enough!

Taking time to “tiptoe through the tulips”. Spring cannot be far behind!

Tulips are better than roses.

Tulip lovers! Head to the West Side Community Garden this spring for the festival. Thanks for the reminder, Gary!
I cant wait to leave winter in the rear view mirror!
Loving the snow this season – outside of NYC it is still pristine and beautiful – Eastern skiing has never been better! Spring can come in April!
This is wonderful! We can count on nature for a burst of color!
Love the sweet and poignant picture on the wall, too💗
She’s dreaming on being in Holland?
The first sign of spring–I heard a mourning dove cooing in the air shaft.
