Hoppin’ Down the Bunny Trail

Every year our family goes to Burnside Farms to pick our own tulips at their Festival of Spring. This year the tulips were in bloom right around Easter, so my 3-yearold daughter, Ruby, put on her bunny tail.

Although it was unseasonably warm for Virginia, it had rained a lot the day before. Ruby wore her rubber rain boots, hoping to do a little stomping in a mud puddle.

As she wandered down the rows of flowers, the vibrant colors, the bunny tail and the pretty tulip in her basket just captured my heart. MELISSA AMMONS Manassas, Virginia
