I was hanging around Commissioner’s Park the day before they opened the Tulip Festival. That’s the actual name of the park across the street from Dow’s Lake that everybody refers to as Dow’s Lake.

There are forsythias all over the place down there, but not many tulips. Here’s a bed of tulips with only two flowers in it.

Last year the tulips blossomed early. They were almost finished by the time the Tulip Festival came along. This year they’re late, not early.

You just can’t rely on tulips. Here’s a daffodil.

Row of privies…

I work near Dow’s Lake, so I went back the next day to get some soup from Stone Soup Foodworks. I had the Organic Beet & Bacon. It was pretty good, even though it had beets in it.

I’ll be going back for some more soup. You should get some too. Bye for now!
