This
early spring is messing with my mind. (I know that doesn't take much.)
But flowers should not be blooming for another month (well Lenten
rose--yes), not even the crocus. I should be able to walk my acres for
another month without getting the "anticipation" bug. I should be able
to walk without starting to look around to see what's blooming,
worrying about why it hasn't come up yet and bloomed.
It's not supposed to be blooming yet!!!!!! I don't mind--in fact I
love--being a "blooming idiot" from mid-March to the first frosts of
November. But I should have another month free of the mental "strains"
of anticipation. Watch. March will be twenty below zero all month, and
nothing will ever bloom. Oh me of little faith. Yes, of course, you
should feel sorry for me. And come pull weeds. I'm sure they'll come
up early too.
