Along with the roof ruckus, came the quick death of my garden--perennials like lilac, phlox, hydrangeas, hostas have all been squashed flat. All the annuals--coleus, begonias, geraniums--ditto. If they'd asked me to move my precious plants ahead of time, I would have found a way to do that. Somehow the peony bush seems to have survived. Yay? Friends think the perennials will come back next year... Yay, I guess.
I keep thinking the garden looks like devastation and that I'm devastated. And then of all things, I worry I'm exaggerating my feelings. Things are worse in the world and could be worse here too. There's nothing to do but get through.

Oh no! I hope Nu is okay and that he is home soon. Poor kid. Also, I'm sad for you and your flowers, I would be devastated too.
I'm sorry to hear Nu's still have difficulties. And sorry about the garden, too. It's normal to get attached to plants you've nurtured.
Thank you for your empathy and good wishes, Nicole and StephLove. <3 <3
