We have so much trouble with critters eating everything on the property. And I'm not sure our climate is a good one for tulips.<br /><br />Daffodils do well, but I think they are poisonous. I've heard tulip bulbs are edible (the people in the Netherlands ate them during the winter of 1944-45), but daffodil bulbsC.J.

I for one LOVE WWII stories and black-and-while movies. I don't think they're dull at all. The art direction in some of those movies was stellar, and they definitely have a particular style to them.<br /><br />Plus I love wounded heroes and Nazi fighters. Sounds wonderful all the way around to me. Thanks for sharing. :)DeAnna Julie Dodsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006564626571868446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-54149848926158956382014-01-17T13:24:58.424-05:002014-01-17T13:24:58.424-05:00Susie, the book came out late last summer, I think...Susie, the book came out late last summer, I think.
