out my back door

In Illinois, a field meant corn or soybeans, maybe some wheat occasionally. Here, a crop could be blueberries, sugar beets, mint, crimson clover, or flower seeds. It's been thrilling to my little Midwest heart to have some variety. A mere 10 miles from our house is a farm that raises tulip bulbs. Of course, to get bulbs, you have to have a flower first. We went to see the tulip fields a few weeks ago & they were gorgeous. 

Isn't he cute? :) not only was the view of the flowers great ...

Just one of my favorite things about my new home!
