We Have Tulips This Year!

We have tulips! Yea!

We will also have daylilies and peonies. Double Yea!!

You see, we have deer. Not only do they come visiting in the winter when life gets hard up in the mountains, they also stay for the spring flower season. They do not like daffodils, which is a mercy. But they adore lilies and tulips.



So just what sort of Imp of the Perverse makes us so all-fired determined to have tulips in the face of all this opposition? Probably just the fact that they get them every single year -Year after year after year.



So this year, we went to Home Depot back in March and invested about $75 in fencing and netting to protect our $25 worth of tulips. For some reason this makes us proud and happy. Everyone we talked to said it seemed about right to them.



Of course this made the deer so mad that they ate the tops off the Bachelor's Buttons in desperation, which they nave never done before.



BUT..... WE HAVE TULIPS!! Next fall, we'll plant some more.

Eat your heart (hart) out Bambi!
