From cold to warm
from dark to light
dreamworld’s flight
to reach for sky
in straight lines
that soon swell
a story to tell
veered fringes on
colored velvet.

Love the tulips when they come… but the deer always get them first

Not sure if you have tomato cages there, but putting them with prongs up instead of into the ground works well here for keeping pesky deer away from things. Also a spray bottle with cayenne and water sprayed on them deters deer.

Thank you, Christian. They have done some fancy engineering on tulips over the years. My ex-husband planted a bunch of fancy ones many moons ago. We have a giant Tulip Festival in nearby Holland, MI every year, where the streets are filled with them.
