Today I planted tulip bulbs with the grandgirls, and as we covered each one up, we said, "See you in the springtime!"

The house next door is for sale, and I worried my, um, exuberant garden might deter buyers. But the realtor told me she uses it as a selling point -- "You get all the beauty and none of the work!"
