Spring sprung, then went away

With the sudden burst of warmth over a week ago, and the below freezing temps since then, my poor tulips are sad. They blossomed so quickly. One day they were barely breaking through the ground, then they were blooming. Then they were frozen.

Tulips are my favorite flower. They are simply beautiful. I love other flowers as well, don't get me wrong. Someday, I'd like to fall in love with a flower with a longer life-span than the tulip. If this were my private blog, I might write something at this point about how that sentiment could be applied to my life in general. And then I'd point out, to myself, about how far I've come. Thankfully, this isn't my private blog.
