Color Changing Tulips and Garden Competition

I have a small group of tulips that start out yellow and gradually turn red, at least that is what they did last year. I have not noticed other tulips changing, just these. Kind of funny because the red starts out along the very edge of each flower and travels along until it fills each petal almost entirely.

I tried doing some work outside today. I lopped lilacs, burned branches, and chased children. I had thought to dig dandelions but didn't get to that, in fact I never finished lopping lilacs either.

I have some rather stiff competition in my flower gardens. The gardens are full of weeds, weeds with long tap roots that grow deep into the soil. Pulling them out is impossible and digging them out is almost out of the question too. One of these days I will muster up some gumption and plan an attack, but not today.
