These newly planted bulbs may raise questions for many of you.
The horticultural: "Really? In December? Will they develop roots?" [A: It depends on the weather.]
The practical: "Did you really have your grades in from your Tuesday night final?" [A. No. Who are you kidding?]
The personal wonder: "You planted bulbs on Wednesday? But you're not going to leave until Saturday, right? Isn't that two days too early?" [A: Why yes, come to think of it, it is.]
The follow up: "Does this mean that things have changed in your life?" [A: No, this means that I plan on composting tomorrow. I'm still cranky and stressed and have unattainable lists and unrealistic expectations. But I still love the holidays.]

What bulbs did you plant? Sounds like a wonderful, relaxing thing to do...
Some tulips, some alliums and some hyacinths. What they had left at the store in early December.
It was really pleasant, but not actually relaxing, because there was a great rush to do it before Aster awakened or Dianthus came home.
