Didja notice the flowers blooming in the public areas around town? In many communities one could expect that the perennials would be blooming by now and the gateway to our town would be a profusion of color.
Realistically one could see elk tolerant spring plants, like daffodils, blooming and being enjoyed by all. Didja know that there are many kinds of daffodils? They come in colors, some have double petals, and some are white and yellow, dark yellow and other colors as well. Why do you suppose you haven’t enjoyed this profusion of spring color? Why, every year, year after year, the town decides to rip the beds to dirt and not have the good sense to plant perennials? Of course today we have a good reason, because of Pickering’s progeny, the head of landscaping. Poor kid can’t help it; there is nothing in the gene pool. But this has been going on for years. Isn’t it time that the town showed some common sense? Wouldn’t it be nice, just once, to have the daffodils lead us into spring?
