Tulips
Emerged — and They're Alive!
"This is probably the most exciting
year to report a sighting," wrote
Kathleen de Russy from Denver,
CO. Their wintery
weather continues to be a challenge, but when one student saw his
popsicle stick marker, and the tulip emerging, he was beside himself....."It's
alive! It's alive!"
