Tulips and Tomaters!

Jeff and I went to the Tulip Festival today to play with our new Nikon D40. We love it (FYI not so impressed with Abe's of Maine even though we got a decent deal; it took about 3 weeks to get our camera and their customer service kind of stinks).

After the tulip festival, we went and checked out the Flying Pie Pizzeria because it's supposed to be Chicago Style pizza. Our friend D took us to the Art of Pizza when we were in Chicago once and it was absolutely a-m-a-z-i-n-g pizza. This place was pretty good, but definitely not Chicago style. We'll try it again with their Sicilian (extra thick crust) to see if that is like Chicago style. Otherwise we'll move on and try someplace else!

Then we went to Al's Garden Center and picked up a tomato plant so I can have homegrown tomatoes this summer. Her name is Rosie. She's a Jet Star tomato plant, and Rosie is the name of the robot on the Jetsons (JET star JETsons) so we went with it.

Anyway, tulips!



Can't you imagine this cute little guy putting along on his tractor in a field of tulips? He wasn't, actually. He was just sitting on a tractor while his wife took his picture.


This is me, excitedly racing my duck.

This is me, when my duck wiped out.

This kid had a spectacular lineup of ducks that wiped out. Do you see the one who is totally posing for the camera?
