Mission 1: Completed
I have a few of the bulbs in my yard now, in the ground. I need to get some compost, but on the advice of a friend for now I may just cover them up with pine needles and bark.
I also nabbed some *something* that I think might be grape hyacinth. I was hoping it was crocus but the more I look the more I doubt it.

Operation Save the Bulbs
FYI, there are more pictures on my flickr stream of some of the bulbs in question that are better from a photography POV, but this one speaks to the source of the problem.
A little history, I have an emotional tie to my garden and flower beds. I'm sad in the fall after I've harvested everything and things are no longer blooming. I spend a lot of time working in the garden nurturing it and contemplating life. Seeing it die in the fall is a sad time for me.
These bulbs have been cared for lovingly for decades, until the past couple of years. I took this picture today and it's now my mission to save the bulbs. I'll keep you updated on how Operation Save the Bulbs goes.

Green?!?
Why yes, it is. This is what I found when I pulled all of the pine needles out of the flower beds today. I'm anxious to get planting and I hope that we have more nice days coming up so I can get things looking nice and fresh in the front yard and ready for plants.
Real Smiles?
It's amazing the smiles I get when I haven't been pestering them for pictures in a while. It may just be time for a more formal session.
