| Every year around this time I find the need to go see something breathtakingly beautiful. |
 |
| Maybe it is because school is in its last month, and it is hard to do the home stretch of school for some teachers....Like me. I hate it and I love it at the same time when school comes to an end. |
 |
| You can probably guess why I love it, summer vacation and all..... but I hate it too. It's like a fun party that is now over. That's how it feels for me. I love my job. I love teaching little kids. It's the greatest job on earth. |
 |
| Even though mine is WAY down on the list of The 100 Best Jobs in America.....CHECK it out! My job, Elementary school teacher, #92, isn't as good as a Funeral Director's, but is a tad better than a sewage plant operator! LOL |
 |
 |
| So I go to find beauty in the world somewhere......and here it is at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah. |
 |
| If you need a lift....go see a beautiful flower garden....it will light up your life! JUST LOOK AT IT!!! |
 |
| How could you not feel joy looking at yards and yards of this? |
 |
| As I walked from one garden to another I kept thinking, "Well, now THIS one is my favorite....no, no....now THIS one is!" |
 |
| I had planted tulips in my own garden for the first time this year...and they came up as such a lovely surprise just after winter....right as the last snow was just melting.... |
 |
| But the deer in our neighborhood found them a week later and ate all the beautiful, red tops off!!! |
 |
| Now I'm just left with the leaves and stems....it's pretty funny looking.... |
 |
| But these tulip gardens are simply breathtaking, and there is a glorious riot of color everywhere.... |
 |
| I love it at Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival....it's only at the beginning of April every year....it lasts for just a few weeks! |
 |
| And then it is gone. Just like Spring in Utah. I dragged the hubs even though he has a bad knee and can't walk for long... |
 |
| But he is such a trooper anyway because he knows how much I love being there.... |
 |
| It's like Disneyland for a flower lover..... |
 |
| In the gift shop I loved this wall of clocks.....everything was very expensive there.....We saw an $8,000 couch. Yeah, I don't think we will be buying our furniture there.... |
 |
| I think this was my true favorite....purple, white and red..... |
 |
| Did I tell you red was my favorite color? |
 |
| We got a nice stranger to snap this pic...the hubs and I. |
 |
| Then we drove out to Wendover the the Peppermill Concert Hall to see Dana Carvey's comedy show. Gotta love the church lady. It was so funny I laughted till I cried! These kinds of things make life worth livin..... Beauty and Laughter...2 of the best things in life. |
