I've been remiss about a lot of things in Blogland this month, but I've been especially remiss about omitting a post about the annual neighborhood Tulip Festival, at the West Side Community Garden. The Garden, a quiet oasis just a few blocks from where I live, is a gem in every season, but it totally shines during the brief, but spectacular tulip season. As ever, 2026 did not disappoint me.
Some of my favorites at the height of Tulip Season
At the beginning of Tulip Season
When I first moved to the neighborhood there were a number of issues that I considered. One was the apartment itself and the building. A second was access to transportation and if the subway was convenient. Was there shopping nearby? The apartment checked all the boxes, but having a garden just a few blocks away was a complete bonus. It's one of my favorite places to sit and enjoy nature and I am so grateful for my neighbors who plant and weed there.
This has been my skimpiest season of posts for the A to Z Challenge, but I'm going to go out with an exciting "Z" post tomorrow. We're returning to one of the most exciting/wonderful places I've ever been. It wasn't easy to get to, but so worthwhile.
It's been a quiet week, but I've managed grocery shopping, (some) walking, physical therapy, Instagramming, and a field trip to see "Dinofest" in New Jersey with friends. I've also been putting details in place for my trip in June to England, Ireland and Scotland. Is anyone in Newcastle on Tyne or Edinburgh? There's time for a scone and a get together.
As ever, thanks for visiting and see you tomorrow for Z.
