I'm sure there's an analogy here somewhere...
About a week ago some beautiful tulips that I planted last fall were looking very promising:
Only a couple of days later:
Wow! Isn’t that just the most amazing thing?!! I did absolutely nothing except dig a hole, give it a bit of fertilizer, and water it (a very little bit). And even what I did do probably didn’t make that big of a difference. The potential for beauty was all stored in that brown bulb I saw last fall.
The bad news is that I got so excited about it that I enthusiastically downloaded too many pictures to my Flickr account – I think maybe I maxed it out until next month – so you’ll have to wait on the other two kinds of bulbs that have come up in the past couple of days.
Those are very pretty. You picked good bulbs.

Thanks Bekah! :)
You’re welcome to use some of the pictures I took as inspiration if you like.
I know what you mean about putting it off…I seem to do a lot of that these days, and not just with tulips!

The only beautiful flowers I’ve seen lately are either the size of my pinky nail or covered in horrible 1/2” long “DON’T TOUCH ME” thorns, though I have to admit, it is kind impressive: A beautiful blossom surrounded by it’s own armor.

— Amy May 11, 05:06 PM #Ooooo! It’s FAN MAIL! :)
Your wish is my command…
