The Rambling Writer Tiptoes through the Tulips

Join Thor and me as we make our annual pilgrimage to nearby Skagit Valley and its famous tulip fields.

Growing up in our beautiful “Far Corner” of the Pacific Northwest, I always appreciated the abundant wonders of our landscape. Part of the joy was visiting the neighboring Skagit County in the spring, home to the biggest tulip growers in the U.S. Back when Mom Helen was still with us, I enjoyed driving her south to see the blooms:

Now it’s Thor driving me to walk through the fields and drink in those vibrant colors.

One thing that’s changed is the incredible crowds now coming from many different countries to visit the fields and display gardens. Plenty for all of us!
