Dear Humans,

Before snow covered them, I’d look out my back window and admire my neighbors’ tulips. When my neighbors planted them, I don’t think they did it for me. Maybe a part of them wanted their yard to look nice for their neighbors, but I think they mostly did it for themselves.

But the funny thing is that I might enjoy those tulips more than my neighbors do. Because when I look at them, I just get to enjoy them. When they look at them, they worry about the bunnies eating them or the frost getting them.

Even when we do things for ourselves, the rest of the world is watching. And, if we do things well, the world is admiring.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
