Talking to Youngest Daughter the other
day…telling her something I heard on NPR.
It was something awesome and inspiring and deeply moving and no doubt
humorous and full of truth, all at the same time.
She listened attentively.
And she responded, “you listen to NPR?!?”
Hmph. Yes. Yes, I do, and it doesn’t take away from my kewlness.
In other news, we have been totally
enjoying a blissful March, with the middle of the month free of wind, and with
temps in the high 60’s and low 70’s.
Last fall, with Wonderful Guy’s initiative
and motivation, we hied ourselves to the local hardware store and bought a bag
‘o tulip bulbs. Fifty of ‘em, then we
went around the yard and stuck them in the ground.
Well, ‘we’ did until the guy ended up with
blisters from the bulb digger thingie. I finished while he was in doctoring his
wounds, so he didn’t know where the last several ended up.
Last week he asked me if some of those
tulips ended up over by the blah blah blah because something was coming up…and
I was all ‘Ohmigah! I forgot about the
TULIPS!!! Lemme see lemme SEE!!!’
We have tulips sprouting all over, and
hopefully soon we will have some blooming.
Oh, I am not fooling myself. I
know its just mid-March. We are due
chilly weather yet. Maybe even more
snow. This is Colorado
In the meantime, these bloomed this week.
I think your tulips looked great! I only have four, but they seem to be growing. I should go 'buy' a bag in the fall. I just forget to think about them in the fall...
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult to remember that being March, this may be a false spring...but here in NE Kansas, all the flowering trees are abloom, the forsythia have exploded and the red buds are very near popping all their blooms! The "tulip trees"have bloomed and are shedding their petals without having been frozen! Surely feels like spring!
ReplyDeletePS~~I listen to NPR..and my coolness quotient is off the charts!
ReplyDeleteI don't see how anyone can be cool, if they don't listen to NPR. (It may be possible, I just can't imagine how...)
ReplyDeleteA fast and fun way to do tulips is to dig a hole and plant 10 or 15 in a triangle pattern (think setting up the balls for a game of pool). Minimize blister, maximize show!
