Who's your valentine?!Snow is good for the tulips and all the other lovelies we have sleeping in the garden right now. More snow on Sunday! Its a real winter! We are loving every snowflake as we count down to spring!Let it snow! And snow and snow! Real time snowflake speed here!This snow and deep cold is so good for our tulips! I am thinking about these lovelies that will be blooming in about 6 weeks! We put around 6,000 bulbs in the ground last fall!
