The new bulbs we planted last Fall are gonna get snowed on tomorrow.
That is ... the ones the bunnies, woodchucks, skunks and squirrels didn't eat.
Maybe we'll have better luck next year if we use larger quantities of blood meal earlier with frequent copious amounts applied. Danged varmints!

PHIL OCHS ... Outside of a Small Circle of Friends
Philip David "Phil" Ochs (December 19, 1940 April 9, 1976) was an American protest singer (or, as he preferred, a topical singer) and songwriter who was known for his sharp wit, sardonic humor, earnest humanism, political activism, insightful and alliterative lyrics, and distinctive voice. He wrote hundreds of songs in the 1960s and '70s and released eight albums.
Ochs performed at many political events during the 1960s counterculture era, including anti-Vietnam War and civil rights rallies, student events, and organized labor events over the course of his career, in addition to many concert appearances at such venues as New York City's Town Hall and Carnegie Hall. Politically, Ochs described himself as a "left social democrat" who became an "early revolutionary" after the protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago led to a police riot, which had a profound effect on his state of mind.
