Tulips from Garfield Park

As it was somewhat nice outside yesterday, I took a little gander around the yard...picking up a few branches and litter as I meandered. Probably the happiest discovery was the tips of the tulips poking their brave little selves up through the still cold and damp soil. My little salvaged tulips did survive! So maybe it was worth the hour drive out to Indianapolis for Garfield Park's Keep What You Pull Day for these. I may go out today and throw on a layer of something for protection from freezing as it would be sad to have their appearance damaged when spring finally does hit for real.
