While strolling through the Red Lion Inn in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, a pleasant surprise waited for visitors in one of the rooms near the gift shop.
Temperatures dipped outside, causing everyone in sight to shiver, but inside, on a table, stood a bouquet of cheery, yellow tulips. They lit up the room with their bright and sunny color.
In just a few, short (please?) months, tulips in all colors will be brightening up walkways and gardens throughout New England. What a perfect delight to find them while outside the ground is frozen solid and overhead skies tend to be slate gray.
That discovery of a yellow tulips bouquet in January turned out to be a first class simple pleasure.

Susan, nothing could have been any more beautiful to look at! Yellow is my favorite color and tulips rank right behind daffodils. I'm looking for a small bouquet Friday when I go to the grocery store. Need a little cheering up on these damp, cold, and dreary days.
Joining you @ Dayle's.
I think the color yellow a happy color.Looking at your photos is one of my simple pleasures today.

I loved seeing all the tulips when I was in Holland...gorgeous colors among the windmills. Tulips are my daughter in laws favorite flower.
They are really lovely! So happy and cheerful!
We had one yellow and red striped tulip emerge in our garden when the other flowers were finished. It was simply beautiful and a surprise to us!
