Surprises

Published by at 3:56 pm under City Life

None of the usual suspects admitted to being the Midnight Gardener, but his/her addiction seems to be, if you’ll pardon the pun, growing (as they so often do – just ask any devotee of say, serial killing, internet porn or eBay). The hydrangeas and lavender (French, as it turns out on closer inspection – oooh, l&agrave l&agrave!) have now been joined by red and pink geraniums. What’s next? I can hardly wait. I so rarely experience random acts of beauty.

On the other hand, there’s no hot water. At all. The building manager claims that it will be fixed tomorrow…or the next day. I actually had to shower at the gym. With all those other people. And then I had to take the bus to the doctor. That’s way too much public exposure (seems to be Monday punday around here) in one day. I’m going to hide in the house now and see if I can catch the Midnight Gardener. Maybe it will be roses this time!

    I feel your pain as I have next to no hot water in the new apt. As I was driving home from the gym I thought how if I had been smart I would have showered at the gym with real water pressure. I trust the doctor’s appt. went well.

    There’s something so warm and happy about someone leaving you potted flowers. Take a picture! 🙂

    Hope you get hot water soon!
