Rain showers bring beautiful flowers

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for spring. There’s almost nothing more beautiful than a sunny, spring day in Seattle.  When the clouds finally part and the sun comes out to play, our city really does sparkle. 

After a particularly wet winter this year, I’m looking forward to shedding some layers and getting outside and enjoying the spring season. 

My favorite part? The flowers! All around town, pink cherry blossoms and yellow flowers are blooming in front yards and community gardens. Down at Pike Place Market, the flower vendors arrange technicolor tulips into darling bouquets. The end of winter is within sight, and thank goodness. 

If you are as excited about spring flowers as I am, follow these lovely Instagram accounts and treat yourself to your own bouquet of flowers. It’s time for tulips!
