I had no idea that tulips should be pulled each year - all I know about tulips is that I wish every spring that I had some and then every fall decide it is too much work to anything about it. By the way, I love the socks! They look fun and quirky to me. Maybe they will grow on you. <br /><br />Your tree and happy kids are all so beautiful.

I know exactly when I planted everything last year and when it bloomed. Just keeping a notebook will be helpful for you I'm sure. In the end plants want to grow and aren't nearly as fragile as they seem. I haven't read Fresh Water for Flowers, but I did add it to my TBR when I read your review, it sounds just like my kind of book. I'm hoping to get to it in the new year - when I finish Winter Solistice!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088145312661308233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1201790925799748924.post-39006849327357150602022-12-14T09:47:26.574-05:002022-12-14T09:47:26.574-05:00That's great, I hope mine succeed as well as y...That's great, I hope mine succeed as well as yours did!

Hopefully they don't think it's spring! So far they seem to be doing well so my fingers are crossed. Magpie Murders was a fun book too - and the next one in that series has an entire book within a book!

Have you read Fresh Water for Flowers yet? (I'm sorry -- I can't remember if you have or not) It is SO good and I think you'll love all of the little details included. And I love your Scrappy socks -- what a wonderful way to use up those little leftovers. So much fun. And Andrea Mowry's new Bear Paw socks might be another option for your leftovers and much faster... you can hold two fingering weights together and the socks just fly off your needles that way. <br /><br />I look forward to connecting with you after the new year!

I'm not sure that I've stored them well, and I didn't divide them, but since it was not a big hassle to dig them up, I guess it is not a big loss if I did it wrong. <br /><br />I enjoyed reading your book reviews. I thought the Horowitz book sounded like Magpie Murders, and then saw that it is the same author. Might check some of them out!
