I HAD JUST RECEIVED A LARGE SHIPMENT OF BULBS

ANYWHO, IT'S FALL AND
I JUST GOT OVER 500+ BULBS DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE
YES 500,
YES I SPLURGED,
YES ON BULBS,
DON'T JUDGE
SO, I METHODICALLY DUG HOLES IN MY YARD
(YA IT LOOKED LIKE I HAD GOPHERS)
AND SPEND A FEW DAYS PLANNING THE DESIGN
PLANNING THE COLORS SCHEMES
PLANNING THE BLOOM TIME
PLANNING THE HEIGHTS
IT WAS INTENSE.
ASK JAKE
WELL, GUESS WHAT HAPPENED 1 WEEK AFTER I HAD FINISHED MY MASTERPIECE...
(PAUSE)
(PAUSE)
(INTENSE PAUSE FOR MORE DRAMA)
THE FRIGGIN' CABLE COMPANY
CAME AND AUGURED THROUGH MY FRONT YARD!
NO LIE
I TOOK PICTURES...
THEY WERE PUTTING IN A CABLE LINE, AND IT HAD TO GO THROUGH MY YARD.
HERE'S THE SOD THEY REMOVED AND THEN HAPHAZARDLY REPLACED.
SERIOUSLY PEOPLE... DO YOU NOT GET IT?
I TOLD THE WORKER WHAT I HAD JUST PLANTED AND HE GAVE ME A CARD TO HIS BOSS AND SAID TO CONTACT HIM
THE WORKER WAS VERY NICE ABOUT IT... I'LL GIVE HIM THAT.
I THOUGHT BECAUSE THE WORKER WAS SO NICE
THAT I WOULD COOL DOWN AND WAIT UNTIL SPRING
TO CONTACT THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY THAT DID THE AUGERING SO THAT I COULD SEE IF THE BULBS MADE IT THROUGH THE WINTER OR NOT.
APPARENTLY THEY DIDNT MAKE IT.
YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE ARENT ANY BULBS
COMING UP YET WHERE I PLANTED THEM.
I AM SO SAD

HERE'S A FEW OF THE LITTLE BUDDIES THAT DID MAKE IT ... BUT
SOMETHING TELLS ME THAT THEY ARE LAST YEARS BULBS
NOT THE NEW ONES

NOT THE NEW ONES
WHAT MAKES ME EVEN MORE FRUSTRATED IS THAT WHEN THEY REPLACED THE DIRT ... THEY DIDN'T EVEN USE DIRT OR TOPSOIL

THEY USED
SAND!
(DUN DUN DUN)
SAND, SAND, SAND
PLANTS DON'T LIKE SAND
I DON'T LIKE SAND
(WEIRD THAT I SPENT SO MUCH TIME ON THE BEACHES OF HAWAII
BUT THAT'S ANOTHER POST.. LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP).
CATS LIKE SAND... TO POOP IN
BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT.

YES I HAD REMOVED EVEN MORE SOD THAN LAST YEAR
TO MAKE ROOM FOR MY NEW
*** SPECIALIZED ***
(THAT MEANS MORE EXPENSIVE)
BULBS
THE POST BELOW WILL SHOW YOU WHAT MY FRONT YARD LOOKED LIKE LAST YEAR.
I MAY BE GOING INTO DEPRESSION OVER THIS.
