Um. Correction 160 Grape Hyacinths
Yep. I had 50 more of the blue ones to plant than I remembered. All 160 are in the ground now, but because there were 50 more than I thought, and because it took longer than I had anticipated, I only planted those bulbs. And it was dark when I finished.
Which gave me ample time to listen to yelling of the motorcyclist who was pulled over about 1/2 block away. I don't think he had his lights on, because I only heard the motorcycle, I never saw it. I did see the flashing lights of the cruiser. And of the 2nd cruiser, which showed up about 10 minutes later. A good rule of thumb for life in general: Never yell at the policeman who has pulled you over.
Considering that 3 UI students have died in the last 2 1/2 weeks from alcohol-related motorcycle accidents (none of the deceased wore helmets, but the one survivor did), I have a hard time understanding why anyone would be speeding up Hayes St. after dark with their lights off. Unless they were hoping to be number 4...
But back to the subject at hand. It's an early start tomorrow to get 30 tulips and 50 daffodils planted under the birch, and then 40 aconite and countless crocuses and allium planted in the beds and the lawn. (Yes, that's right. I underestimated the numbers of all the bulbs I ordered. I wonder if I'll ever learn.) And I have to get all that done before the 6:30pm Independence stumble-through.
