Forgotten, not Abandoned

What has happened to ‘smelly-feet-basil’and my ‘window garden’?  I left cash under the teapot for the super to go in and give them water while I was away.  But yesterday, I remembered that I did not contact him, as intended.  Will they have survived or will I return to a wilted scene, all the plants expired and dismal, requiring a new outlay of effort and cash?

What took my attention?  City guests.  Cooking. Baking bread-the best bread ever with Einkorn flour, apples and pecans. Baking cookies.  Concocting soup.  Planting a vegetable garden in the porch boxes, and time spent at the local automotive garage.  Time flies when there are all these possibilities.  The best part?  My “City guests” had no idea I could cook or knew my way around a kitchen.  On their side, they arrived in their Maserati and caused a sensation in the parking lot of the local grocery store.  Kids in pickups were stopping to make phone pictures and exclamations.
