[MG1]

I came home this morning from my usual galavanting and parked the car under the tent I had set up this last week. It is set up next to the backyard garden. As I look over, I see my prized pom pom dahlias wilting in this ungodly heat. I immediately went to water them. Poor babies.............. I remembered to bleed the initial stream of water from hell and started gently moistening the dirt around the plants. As I sprinkled the leaves, they immediately started to jump back to life. Amazing, it was. Anyway, I then continued to water the rest of the garden, being careful not to water the leaves of the roses (worst thing to do with roses). My youngest son comes looking for me and says, WTF, Dad? You're not wearing your hat. I look at the time, and I've been out there for 45 minutes without a hat! My daughter texted me, "I don't want to lose the only parent I have left." That hit home hard. I immediately went inside and said to myself plants can be replaced, repaired, replanted, etc. Humans, not so much. I've now locked my self in the bedroom where the AC is blasting. I'm bourd out of my gored, so posting shit on RS is about all I can do. No Blue Jays today and not interested in watching scHabs hockey. No more Matlock reruns anymore.
