Can you say DOUBLE RAINBOW!?

At the end of my street??  Holy cow.

And check out this goofy vase.  I bought it at the Met in NYC a long time ago - it's so ugly it's beautiful.  Notice the asparagus motif at the top? This is a pretty handy vase for something like tulips THAT CONTINUE TO GROW even after they are picked.  One trick I learned while living in London to slow down the growth is when you bring them home from the store and after you cut off the ends, make a pinhole in the stem all the way through, right underneath the flower.  I have absolutely no idea why this works, but it does.  OBVIOUSLY I forgot to do it this time.
