A favorite spring jaunt is to one of the nearby tulip farms. My sister and a friend joined me on a leisurely drive to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm just outside of Woodburn, OR. It was a lovely warm day and the rural countryside was springtime lush.

I don’t know how many acres of tulips were in bloom while we were there. I’d guess at least 20 acres in countless colors and shades. Here’s just one view.
