My little Sprite and I planted tulip bulbs today.
They are in the ground, and now we wait. We wait for them to lie dormant, for snow to cover the ground and for the eventual re-warming period that we think will never come. Then sometime in May, we will have beautiful flowers. Yay!
Spring seems a long time to wait to reap the benefits of our hard labor. But, of course, we know it will be worth it.
There is snow in the forecast for next week. Fall is much too short here, and spring is a long, long time away. But our little patch of fresh dug earth will remind us that we have something to look forward to.
Tulips are such hopeful little flowers.
