Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea, here.

After months of Ohio doing its gray thing, we're finally approaching the time of year where everything comes back to life, and I'm pretty excited about it. Timbuk Farms is gearing up to open its fields again, with more than 500,000 tulips lining four acres out in Licking County. It’s bright, it’s busy, and on peak weekends it feels like half of central Ohio is there, but it's so worth it. There are u-pick stems, food trucks, live music, and enough color to completely take over your camera roll. I don't want to rush spring, but I'm very much looking forward to seeing some color out there!
