Last night I decided that today was going to be a creative day. Unfortunately, I wound up doing a mixture of answering questions at work and doing yard work.
Our front yard is in danger of being overrun by dandelions. I hate using chemicals on them, and last year, I didn't have a chance to keep up with them. So, I spent some time today trying to dig up dandelion plants in the front yard.
I also spent some time working in the front flower beds again. I've probably spent twice as much time with the front flower beds already this summer as I did all of last year. And, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done.
The tulips are in full bloom right now (the daffodils are already finished blooming). The previous owners of this house had planted the tulips, daffodils, and iris plants. I've been watching the tulips for the past 6 years. I'm amazed by the mutations that I am seeing over the years.
For example, the first tulip picture shows a red tulip with a fun yellow swoosh in one of the petals.
I'm guessing that it is a cross between the two other tulip pictures.
And, then, there is the white tulip. I haven't seen a white tulip in this bed since the first year. I'm glad it is back.
