All the Pretty Tulips!

Miracles do happen-- MOST of my tulips are still in tact. Last year the neighborhood "delinquents" as I unkindly refer to a hoard of little girls who live by us, clipped just about ever single tulip I had in my front yard. After some serious talkin' to's and threats... they have left them mostly alone. Funny story though-- the other day, we were taking off for the weekend and I told Luke I better go take a few pictures with his camera phone just in case I came back and they were all gone. As soon as I had gotten back in the car and we were backing out of the driveway we see one of them walking down the sidewalk with a handful of flowers and bent down next to the neighbors dafoldils. Luke jumped out of the car to go and stop her.... but upon a closer observation he realized her hands were just full of dandelions (by all means, TAKE THE DARN THINGS!!!) So again, he warned her not to take any flowers from other people's yards unless they are just dandelions. Okay.... so we're paronoid. But too bad! Muahahhahahhaaaa....

When we returned Monday I found that 5 had been picked, but I can live with that. Last year they only left with me with about that many.

So here's my gorgeous girl and our happy little flowers!

I totally started laughing when I was reading this post, because I totally remember your post last year on the little "deliquents" picking all your tulips! Good to hear that most of the tulips survived this year! They are so pretty!
