This is the time of year when I typically start posting armfuls of beautiful, bountiful specialty tulips. I DO still have thousands of tulips this year, but I also have an UNREAL vole infestation. They made themselves much too cozy tucked under the blanket of snow in PA this winter, and caused significant damage to much of my crop. Plus, they are just.so.gross, and they are giving me the wi***es and all the icks, and making me not even want to be outside 😩 (I’m brave about OTHER things!). The tulips had significant tariffs added this year, which made it extra insulting to lose so many. Tomorrow, I’m bringing in a company to help get rid of them, which brings another significant expense.
The sunny side? Little Miss Flora! She is the best distraction from voles and all the chaos swirling about in the world. She is bringing so.much.JOY (but definitely NOT helping with productivity - I’ve never ever just sat down in the grass and rubbed a sweet pink belly before😆)
