Temple Tulip Bulbs

My sister, Martha, & sister-in-law, Lucy & I went to the Boise Temple early this morning to dig up tulip bulbs to take home to our own yards. Martha heard about it on a blog so we thought we'd give it a try. We got to the temple around 6:30AM & there were already lots of people there digging up beautiful tulips. I couldn't believe how quickly the tulips were disappearing. We had heard there were tens of thousands of tulips, but it was hard to find a spot to go to since people were going so fast. We quickly found a spot & did our work. Within an hour the temple grounds were cleared out & the colors were gone. I had my bags full & an armload of beautiful tulips to take home & enjoy for a while. I am excited to plant these bulbs this fall & will keep my fingers crossed that they grow & bloom next spring.
