  • Two Tulips and a Hawk. That is all.

    Two tulips. This is, unfortunately, the beginning and end of my tulips this year, I’m afraid. I am so sad, this cold snap has just turned them into drooping beauties. I look at them and I can feel the sadness creeping in, like The Nothing is slowly taking over my perennials.

    I did get a glimpse of majesty yesterday, though. Right in my own backyard. Hubby spotted her and I was called to duty – it went a little like this:

    “Honey! Camera! Hurry! Hawk!”
    She was beautiful, and I was only mildly creeped out by the size of her blood tinged talons. A girl’s gotta eat though, huh?

    I’m working on a monochromatic cat painting today, three beautiful cats – I’ll show you the sketch when I finish it up.

    Happy Good Friday to you!

    We have tulips to plant but have yet to do it…do we need to wait for the fall?

    If you have bulbs, you can force them indoors (like this weekend would be good), if you have plants – wait until this cold snap passes. If it were me, I’d put the bulbs straight in the ground after it warms up a bit – and if they happen they happen – if not, they’ll show up next year. :cheerful:
