I had forgotten where I put this one and couldn't find it earlier. Smiles. Awake, thou wintry earth - Fling off thy sadness! Fair vernal flowers, laugh forth Your ancient gladness! ~Thomas Blackburn, "An Easter Hymn"

Tulips will come back if you leave them in a dry bed for the summer. If you water the bed regularly then your best bet is to lift them once their leaves have browned. Store them in a pot tucked away for the summer and replant in mid fall. This is more work, but they will come back. Tulips like dry summers, not well watered beds.

What an amazing way to tour our wonderful country. I'm training for an 11 mile bike ride for a triathlon, and cannot even fathom the distance you have done. Eighty miles in one day??!!! I am in awe, and high fiveing you from NJ- stay strong and safe the rest of your trip! -Polly

Every single team left either told the answer or was given the answer except for goth grrrl. The Goths may be odd and Kynt a wimp but they are running their own race in their own weird fashion. I like Z and J but for them to give out the answer lowered my respect for them. A lot. Lily they were targeted because they were the only ones who played the game as true competitors. They didn't play a social game. They actually competed and raced. Amazing Race may as well just be another popularity show the way it's being played now. It's one thing to team up a bit to get ahead but when people start giving out answers to challenges that is CHEATING. It has been done from the start with this season and I think it may be the downfall of the show. L Crybaby Luke and mommy did nothing without help. At least they got knocked off without getting anything. But the rest of these teams are the least deserving as competitors and yet they are still there. The producers need to enact penalties for telling the answer. All those teams would have had to go back just like the c cowboys had not Z and J blabbed and so on.
