Other stuff & things

I'm worried about my plants. My potted plant outside was labeled a desert mix, so I thought it would be able to endure a week without watering. Not so. It's nearly dead. I dumped an entire watering can's worth of water on it, so I hope it will revive it. We shall see. It was a pretty expensive plant (I never would've bought it, except that I had gift cards for this nursery, which paid for it), but if the plant itself dies, at least the pot is really nice and I can plant something else in it.

Note to self - next time, plant nanny! For all the good that does, it's still better than nothing.

My hanging basket is horribly wilted, even though I put a plant nanny in it. I guess a wine bottle's worth of water isn't enough to last a week.

And my roses...forget about it. They were gorgeous a month ago. I've got nothing now. Stupid dry spell.

I have some photos from Inniswood Metro Gardens that I need to upload. Probably won't be until this weekend.

I just read an entire book today - Almost French by Sarah Turnbull. Loved it! Read Ursula Hegi's The Worst Thing I've Done on the flight to Ohio. It was pretty good. I didn't like it as well as some of her other novels, but it held my interest long enough for the flight.

Yes, it was self-centered. And she didn't really put anything into any historical context at all. But I pretty much knew I was reading fluff going in and not anything that would provide any major cultural/historical enrichment.
