I was up in the Skagit Valley last week and headed out early in the day to see the Roozengaarde tulip fields before too many other tourists were up and about and trying to do the same thing. I had met up with some friends who were also visiting the area and we were glad we had made the effort to get up early to beat the crowds.
We found this great field of different colored tulips and there was even a shoulder on the road! We saw these people hard at work picking tulips and then throwing the bunches into the truck. I’m sure that these were the “field tulips” that were being sold in the little tulip stands at the Roozengaarde fields and in their garden.
Proverbs has some verses that have some good advice for those who are only thinking that they might need to work vs. those who are actually working:
Those who work hard make a profit, but those who only talk will be poor.
Proverbs 14:23 (NCV)
