I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles." ~Audrey Hepburn

Seriously?


Seriously? Casey and I had a WONDERFUL weekend! We didnt get one minute to get anything done that we needed to - but it was filled with family and friends and included some of our friends getting sealed in the Temple. It was perfect!
Until last night...I have been anxiously awaiting my tulips to open. They have been a little confused as to when they should actually open, but they had about an inch more to grow and their bulbs were just about ripe! I knew it would be sometime this past weekend...Then, on the way home from my parents house for dinner...Casey asked "did you cut the tulips or something?" I thought he was kidding, he knows that I LOVE my tulips - they really are beautiful, year after year and grow HUGEand they always recieve compliments!!! He wasnt kidding! We pulled into the garage, I jumped out and went to the front of the house...and sure enough - SOMEONE CUT THE TOPS OFF ALL OF MY TULIPS!!! SERIOUSLY???? WHAT THE HELL??? Excuse my vulgarity, but seriously?
Not were just the tops cut, but many were cut all the way down so that only about 2 - 3 inches of the greens were showing. Who the freak just goes into someones yard and cuts their tulips off? After I examined each area where my spring best friends should have been shinning, I noticed that on top of our rock wall that leads up to our house, that ALL of my beloved purple flowers have been cut OR PULLED (ROOT AND BULB) OUT!!! I am seriusly in shock - I have no idea who would do this - and they have left me seriously saddened. Im not kidding when I say that one of my favorite things about coming home from work in the Spring, is seeing my Tulips! They stand taller than a foot or two high and are so vibrant in color, they just make me smile! I wont get that this year. Now I have empty patches of perrinals where no flower will grow, My Hyacinth (which only bloom for about 3 weeks) and my Daffodils are all I will get to see.
So dear tulip and my purple flower that I cant remember the name of snipper - you ruined my day!
And if you thought you were trying to help thinking that 'maybe they have already bloomed and need to be snipped back' - you were wrong...why? well, 1. Because they have not bloomed yet and 2. Keeping the greens well into summer letting them soak up the suns rays helps them grow better the following year. So you didnt help...AND, STAY OUT OF MY YARD!!!
PS - At first, we thought maybe the dear or an animal has been enjoying our flower garden, but upon examination, they were indeed clipped, by scissors!

That is not cool. Some people. We planted over 200 tulip and daffodil bulbs in our yard and I look forward to it each spring. I'm sorry!

HOLY HELL? Who in the world would do that? That is the craziest thing I have ever heard? I love my flowers so much to, I get so proud of them, and that I didn't kill them! I am so sorry to hear about that, I literally am in shock right now that someone could be so retarded. I first thought deer because my moms floweres are always eaten by the deer. Gosh well good luck in the investigation. It wasn't me I PROMISE :) :)

That is so lame Rachelle! I totally know your anticpation, because I have the same and I can't even imagine knowing someone had deliberately ruined my surprise! Hopefully it was some little kid that doesn't know any better because I can't believe any grown adult would do that, but then again...we live in this world, anything is possible. Sorry!

to think they brought scissors over to your yard to cut your flowers is just crazy to me! I am so sorry. Will you come help me plant pretty flowers in my yard???

I'm sorry- that's so random and mean! It wasn't us! haha I saw all your flowers growing and was so pretty. Your yard always looks so good. We need to get going on ours!
