Last fall, my mom gave me some of her extra tulip bulbs. I planted them in a pot with the hope that come springtime they would pop up into the world. Meanwhile, our housing community decided to reside the buildings this winter and our patio area had to be cleared in order to survive the chaos. So in came the plants and hopes of them surviving til spring went out the window in my mind. But today I peaked at my tulip pot which has been neglected in a dark corner of the house with the heavy strawberry pot on top and discovered that these tulips were fighting for survival. No water or sunshine for a month but still beating the odds and springing to life! Things are a bit safer outside now and so I brought the little survivors out again for some fresh air, sunshine, and water. I do wonder if they will miss the cozy temperatures of our living room though. I hope the anticipation of spring puts a smile on your face too!
