Should I buy bulbs or buy a horse?

The dog days of summer got me wishing for spring this week. And, that reminded me that it is time to buy bulbs for the garden. However, my daughter has other plans.

"Mom, you know how much I love the horse I ride at the stables? Well, Tony is for sale. Can we buy him?" As I was flipping through catalogs of bulbs planning the front garden, my daughter asked that question. Now, I know that when I buy bulbs I will get beautiful flowers in the spring for a little bit of money. What do I get when I buy a horse? Vet bills and boarding fees.
