Wilted tulips

Once purple tulips,

almost faded to black now.

I didn't photograph

them while still fresh

and didn't find it necessary to

throw them out already either.

So I decided to photograph

these wilted beauties.

O yes, beauties.

I just love tulips,

even if they have faded.

The cold, grey weather

musty finally be getting to me,
so these wilted tulips totally
fit the way I feel right now.

If only there would have been a

bright blue sky for a change;

would make the cold much more

bearable and cheery even.

O well, I'm glad this past week

was a busy one, too busy really,

and yet I found the time to knit a bit.

Little baby hats to be sent over the border

to the Netherlands and then to be taken

all the way to Nepal. I chose bright

and cheery colors for the little hats.

The idea of a baby in Nepal wearing

a hat I knitted just kept me going

and put a smile on my face this week.

Makes me wonder:

What put a smile on your face this week?

Bye,

Marian
