Doesn’t the word “crocus” sound like some kind of snack?
As I’m in my basement, gathering a few items to get ready for a hike, my friend (who often arrives with some kind of amazing freshly baked item), yells down to to me:
“Nice crocuses.”
“Great. I’m starving. I’ll eat some on the walk over to the trail.”
“What? I was talking about the flowers out front.”
When I looked outside, sure enough, there were flowers. I didn’t plant them, so this was a nice surprise – almost makes up for the fact that a crocus is not a snack.
The question now is, in the spirit of “‘pay it forward”, should I “plant if forward”?
