The present was wrapped in two layers. The outer layer was white polka dots on red. The inner layer was green tissue. The next present came in a featureless white box. The mystery was both how to open the box, and well as what might be inside. The largest present contained a work of art from her sister Benny. Denver was also wearing the shirt she just got from her dad. The next present that Oliver unwrapped exposed a box containing a dog nail grinder. The mystery box contained an assortment of fragrant soaps.

Six Amber Glow tulips bloomed at random locations around a patch of dirt at the front of our property. They provided a welcome splash of warmth early in the 2021 spring season. Behind and to the right, leaves of lilies were beginning to grow. Two of the front garden tulips opened their petals later that same day. The display was dramatic. The first tulip of the season glowed in the sunlight of morning. Notice how its leaves curled. Two early tulips of different heights had just bloomed in the front garden. They remained closed.
