TULIPS

 The Professor bought me tulips.  I can't do them justice, but here they are anyway.  The Professor has taken on yet another role in my life.  Not only my best ever friend, my chief encourager, my sage adviser, my lover, my jester,  my breakfast maker, my bin-putter-outer, my maintenance man, my grocery shopper and my vermin controller - he has now become my chauffeur.  The man is indefatigable . I was told today that I am not allowed to drive at the moment.  I'll miss my independence.
