A bulb is a promise, or so they say

Here's our little guys (jumbo paper white bulbs), all lined up, ready to grow
Inside these unsightly little brown packages, lie the promise of beautiful flowers
I talk to these little guys as I wash dishes and have even been known to pray over them from time to time. I REALLY, REALLY want them to bloom!

If all goes according to plan (ha,ha), our line up here will transform into a garden of holiday flowers in about 3 weeks time. Our plan is to give them as teacher gifts, but b/c I am a woman of little faith, we do have back-up gifts. I just can't wait to post pictures of their tall stalks of floral goodness.
