parallel lines.

you guys, i wasn't kidding when i wrote about how excited i was for the color a few months ago. oh, and yes, i am fully aware that this blog is beginning to look like a laura ashley bedroom set circa 1992, but i just can't help myself.


i sweet talked graham into driving us to woodburn (a thirty minute drive south of portland) for the afternoon to visit wooden shoe tulip farm. it was windy and blowing rain, but never-the-less i tromped. sloshed. and slipped. on the muddy fields to catch a glimpse of the tulips in their glory, and people it was worth it.


and now, i'm even more set on visiting holland in the spring at some point in my to view the full magnitude of their tulips.

  2. definitely worth it. there is a flower field like that in san diego and we would drive an hour to go see it every year. it was always worth it too. :)
