Diary of a Crocus


FEBRUARY 21st

Oh MY, the earth is packed in around me, cold and confining and I feel like a murderer shackled by hand and foot in a confined cell enrobed in complete darkness.

March 1st

I am growing stronger now and the earth is warming now, and I have the strength to push the earth out of my way and free myself from this encumbrance.

March 21st

It is done, I have pushed the earth out of my way and the warming sunshine feels wonderful on my petals and stem! But what is this, those confounded Daffodils have beat me to the surface again! I had hoped that I could outgrow them this year, but they have beaten me again! However, under closer inspection I can see that their stems are drooping with withering petals, and their leaves are dragging on the ground, a sure sign of frostbite! With any luck they won’t survive the night! Thank You MOTHER EARTH! Let’s get this Spring going!
