Pathetic

This lone tulip is the only Spring that has sprung in our yard. Sad. Four boys produce a lot of mud, sweat, & giggles but they murder my flowers. We will give the garden another go this year. For some reason that I am sure has to do with food, they will respect the boundaries of the garden. Flowers, in the words of Parker, "I have no use for." So with the exception of the extravagent bouquets of dandelions, which are in rich supply at our house, there will be no flowers for mom. Nothing really beats the sticky clump of weeds your 4 year old hands you, "I picked these for you Mom!," anyway.
