There are some days that are uniquely more difficult than others, no matter how nice or bad the weather may be or where in the world you may reside. In those moments of life you feel like you have been carrying a weight on your shoulders and that you need to stop for a while to have some rest; to put down the weight and look around yourself!! So I stopped and looked and I saw the most beautiful yellow tulip right in front of my house! I remembered when I had first planted the bulbs last November, right before the first frost and I thought " That's what life's about!!" ; To avoid any further confusion and simply put: Plant tulip bulbs in cruel cold of November (preferably with bare hands, the way I do it!) and you will surely be granted happiness on one exceptionally tough day in spring!
