I’m disappointed in the tulips this year. I need to do some reading from “tulips for dummies” to see if I can figure out the problem.

These blooms are looking pitiful. The backyard is even worse. Oddly, the backyard daffodils looked better than I can ever remember.

This is a photo of the same area from 2 years ago. I’m not sure it demonstrates the issue as well as I would like.

I am working on a new book that would be part of a series but it is slow going. I can carve out time but only a little bit and it’s hard to get much work done in tiny chunks.

For now, it’s going to be a mystery. Hopefully I can report more soon.

I’ve also started a couple of posts about some of my favorite romance, old school and current. Stay tuned.
