In a Tube

I've really been enjoying the sun and seeing my front flower beds getting greener and greener as more leaves burst through the ground and the beginnings of buds appear.  I am so excited to see what blooms!  For the last couple of years, I've bought used bulbs from the Botanical Conservatory.  Most of what I got was tulips as I already have lots of daffodils.  The squirrels have done a bit of damage to the bulbs, but thankfully, I think most of what I got has continued to survive.  Two years ago, I planted everything I got in the front of the house, and I got to see most everything bloom last year.  Then last year I bought tulips to go around our deck, so this year will be the first time I see those bloom.  I can't wait!  I'm hoping that whenever we finally rip out the deck (which is still falling off of our house) that the demolition and construction (which will likely be a stamped concrete patio) won't damage my flowers.  I think whatever I buy from the used bulb sale this year will likely get planted in the front again, just to be safe.  😅

Glorfindel is such a sweet ham.  I'm hoping the time change doesn't make it more difficult to see him when he is awake.  Although he doesn't seem to mind at all if I end up waking him up when I put food in his tank before I go to bed.  😊
