Yesterday I got some marigolds and petunias to put in my front yard since 3 scrawny pansies looked so pathetic. This coincided with the start of our first heatwave. I told myself I’d put them in either early in the morning or on Wednesday, when the weather is supposed to break(Lemme tell ya, 90+ degree heat should be against the law in NY before mid-July. At least wait for summer to actually start).
Yeah, I didn’t do either. I started putting them in the ground at around 1 pm. The only reason I can think of as to why I started putting them in at 1 pm is because I must be brain damaged. As I was putting in the last marigold, a stranger walked by and said, “Man! That’s a lot of work to do today.”
“I got the soaking wet tee shirt to prove it!” I answered. Then he said, “You know something? I got something in the trunk of my car you’d probably like.” and walked off.
He came back with these.
I think I will put them in the back of my front lawn.
