Tulips

So, I planted tulips two years ago.  I planted 18 tulips, let me tell you it was hard work.  Our flower bed is around a few trees, so the ground is hard and it seems like there are roots everywhere.  Then, after working hours planting the bulbs, you have nothing to show for it except a sore back until spring.  Last spring after what seemed like an eternity I had tulips.  Only 14 tulips came up but I was pretty proud of my accomplishment.  I have been watching for my tulips again this year.  Afterall, all the tulips should come back, and they should have more... right????  Well, I only have 5 tulips coming up.  I think this is a crime!!!  Not only do I only see the five, but I don't even see any blooms.  Chad usually buys me some mums.  My mums come back.  I love mums, I love tulips, tulips don't love me!  I think the squirrels might of dug down to get the bulbs out of the ground, that is a rumor I have heard.  Let me tell ya, I will be sitting on the front steps waiting for those darned stinking squirrels.

until next time
