Spring Tulips & Topper



A photo of a complete nose-to-tail Wire Fox Terrier is nearly impossible. They move faster than the combination of a human mind and a camera's shutter allows. Hence still-life tulips and frozen-in-place 7/8 dog.

I dug these tulips up late last spring after they bloomed in a garden where I didn't want them any longer. They spent the summer heeled in some rich compost, part of the fall in the refrigerator, and all winter in these pots. Then voila, 10 days before the official start of Spring 2010, tulips in full bloom.

The Swiss Chard survived the winter and looks better than it did all last year. Overdue for picking, I'd say.
