I really never thought a thing of it. There are other words we use in our country vernacular when it comes to animals that would make most folks uncomfortable, but we use them as matter-of-factly as you would say, "Please pass the butter."

We can hardly buy a snowflake. I know the feeling of wanting desperately to see the ground again. To see a dandelion. This year it's dirt and so yes, we have a few tulips and hyacinths tips coming through already. <br /><br />I didn't know if we could grow hyacinths either, but I planted some 2 falls ago and they were lovely coming up in the spring. I can't wait to see them again this spring. I hope there is enough moisture for their appearance. I shall carry buckets to them. I would think you could grow some too. Why not? They need the cold temps just like tulips. Do you ever see them in the stores in the fall?<br /><br />Wishing you warmth and lovely run-off. You can wish me wet snow and run-off.<br />Gumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-5654914741150289052013-03-20T18:09:32.187-06:002013-03-20T18:09:32.187-06:00Sounds just about right for spring!

There are a few of these comments that had me nodding...and then you lost me on a tinge of green, something about tulips and hyacinths etc...because I'm having a darn hard time smiling in the grocery store saying 'well, it will be great for spring run off...' UGH! We still have feet of snow on the ground, but somehow there is a bit of hope in the air and the calves are arriving regardless. :)<br /><br />By the by, you can grow hyacinths? Sounds so lovely, they are about the loveliest smelling plants I suppose - but we don't grow 'em here.
