Spring!

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Our little yard has had daffodils and tulips in it since before we moved here. Last fall, Joe planted a huge amount of crocus and tulip bulbs, and I was anticipating a yard FULL of flowers.

But I forgot about the squirrels.  They must have dug up at least half the bulbs immediately. And they keep watch for newly bloomed flowers– and decapitate them!

I did manage to capture a picture of Lilia and a freshly bloomed tulip today. It may be gone tomorrow. The squirrels are particularly mad at us because we just got a fancy anti-squirrel bird-feeder.
