Going Into Hibernation
After seeing my tulips
starting to grow 'neath the snow,
they went into hibernation
they won't die, have a chance to grow.
They've been up about five centimeters
since January or February,
but the sudden snow this month
has got them a little wary.
I'm glad they didn't come up further
I would have lost them for sure,
the cold slowed down the growing time
maybe through Spring, they'll endure.

We got snow almost two weeks ago and my tulips got buried. I was hoping they weren't going to die, especially after last year. I had one about ten centimeters high and the heavy snow killed it. We're supposed to get a couple centimeters of snow sometime tonight.
