I had been warned to stay home to receive a Fed Ex delivery, but I was not completely sure what to expect.
Here is what I saw when I opened the box:
This is how they deliver flowers nowadays. No water. A nice vase. A packet of flower-fresh powder to mix into the water. A nice cellophane, raffia and gauze wrapping:
Colorful Spring tulips! Aren't they beautiful??
So I carefully mixed up the water and the contents of the flower-fresh packet, trimmed each stem a little bit to help the flower drink more easily, and then arranged them as best I could in their very nice vase:
My sweet kitty Jessie supervised the whole process, but I didn't get her picture this time. I think she thought I was preparing something good to eat since I was so busy in the kitchen. Given the chance, she would eat these beautiful flowers as a snack!
So these beautiful multi-colored tulips are a Valentine's Day gift from my partner Bob. Thank you Bob, my Sweetie, for bringing Spring into my home a whole month early!
Beautiful Spring Tulips
I Love Tulips!

Those are beautiful! The colors are so vibrant....wow. They make me yearn for spring even more :-)
The tulips are just beautiful, the colors are just luscious!
What a sweetie that Bob is.
Oh my goodness, Jen - they are absolutely gorgeous! Tulips are one of my favorite spring flowers to bring inside. And all those colors...love the purple ones the most, I think. No, wait...maybe I like the red ones with the white tips best...no, definitely the purple. Together, they all are a very clear message of love!
(Nice choice, Bob!) :-)
Ooooh! Such a beautiful breath of Spring. How thoughtful!

I guess I did good, thanks for the endorsements from all of Jen's loyal blog followers.
She is a special woman and she deserved some advance Springtime cheer. It has been a long dreary and wet Winter around here.
And, yes Farmgirl I was definitely hoping also that the the message was very, very clear.
Happy Valentine's Day to all her friends.
Thank you all for the wonderful comments.
And thank you again Bob, for the beautiful flowers and especially for your love.
Aw, jeez, you two...get a room!
LOL
