I'm sorry I have not posted in quite a while. About a month ago my little mid-western town was hit with a SEVERE flood. Our home was spared, by half a block, but many in our town were not. I spent the better part of the past month serving in our church assisting those who were affected with hot meals and organizing the donations/distribution of relief supplies. It was a time of devastation and sorrow in that first week or so following the flood. Yet, also in that first week this happened in my front planter boxes.
I had many people come by the church and tell me how my tulips brought them something to smile at for a bit. It is truly amazing how a simple plant can bring joy, but believe me they certainly can. In the midst of a surprise flood the sudden appearance of my tulips, bobbing their colorful heads at all who walked by, was certainly a joy.
