Just put in some tulip bulbs. Some of the ones in the beds are trying to come up again, they are WELL confused by the current weather, apparently.
I hope they do well--they're suppose to come up a beautiful burgundy-black color. I'm not in love with tulips usually, they tend toward flat colors. But these! BLACK AS MIDNIGHT which means velvety purple.
Oh, I hope I hope...
It also feels so good to get dirt, good clean dirt, on the hands. Dirt you've built yourself from eggshells and coffee grounds, dust piles and orange rinds.
I need to go stand out on the raised bed, where I've cleared the weeds, and let some of that good jive of the dirt soak up from the soles of my feet, too.
