Roses and the Beach

Today:
      Since my mother left for Mexico last weekend, I have been taking care of her garden for the past few days.  I mean when she told me how to care for the plants I didn't really pay too much attention to be honest since I thought, hey I'll just spray them with water for a little bit once a day and forget about them until the next day.  Turns out, she has such a different variety of flowers, that doing what I was doing for the rest of the time she is going could have potentially killed off her garden.  I got schooled by a neighbor of mine when she saw me poorly watering the plants and frankly, I should know better than to do what I do since my father was a gardener and worked at a nursery and studied plants.  I guess non of that ever rubbed off on me so I bet hes looking down at me laughing at my poor attempts of taking care of the plants.
