Two or three years ago Bad Water Bill and I began a periodic conversation about this and that, enjoying and commiserating in each other's highs and lows, and just generally having a fine time shooting the breeze every now and again.
Last year we got to talking flowers. With impossible to hide love and joy in his voice, George talked about how much his wife loved her flowers , just as mine does. He talked about how he has cared for some of these plants for many a year with great care and great satisfaction in being able to look at them.
And, as he is who he is, he went to the trouble of taking cuttings of one of her favorites and carefully placed them into tiny Tupperware containers and shipped them to us.
We had quite a time early on with keeping them at the correct watering level, and eventually lost all but one of them. But, that one cutting has been steadily gaining ground, and every day we look at it in the bay window of our living room and
I smile a little.
A couple of times in the last month I have told my wife that we need to let George see how it was doing, and I think its time,,,,,,,,
