You Can’t Always Get What You Want
…well at least according to the Rolling Stones. But the fortune in my fortune cookie asks you to suppose you can…
So what exactly does this mean? Where do you place the emphasis? If you read it “Suppose you can get what you want…” it means something different that “Suppose you can get what you want…”. And let’s not even get into the “…in bed” thing. Any ideas?
Spring is in the Air…
I just planted 62 bulbs. In an hour. That’s a bulb a minute! Of course, it’s January, so I’m not sure whether these bulbs will actually grow or not, but I figured I’d give it a try… The hyacinth bulbs looked a little off, though. It could be scary – I might end up with mutant hyacinths from outer space. (More likely though, they were rotting and won’t even come up, but we won’t know until spring…)
Why, exactly, am I planting bulbs in January? Well, we’ll leave the procrastination bit out of it, but it just happened that it was an absolutely balmy spring day today. It was bright and sunny and mild, and I just felt the need to go out and do something! Now I only have 50 tulip bulbs left from the rather ambitious number I bought in November…but those will have to wait for another day…it’s getting cold and dark again, and I’ve just remembered it’s winter. :)
