Finally

I was about to give up on the orange tulips I planted last fall.  I thought Menards sold me some duds.  But I was wrong.  The orange tulips are just blooming now, a month later than the purple ones I planted.  They may be late but they sure are pretty.  I did some weeding today now that the ground was softened by almost two inches of rain on Saturday.  I uncovered some wildlife-angleworms, green shiny beetles, ants, and cutworms.  The cutworms were launched into space from the garden and landed in the prairie part of the yard.  For a cutworm, a 15 foot trip must seem like a very long commute.
