There has been, indeed, so much rain in our absence that some of the plants haven't liked it at all. I'm hoping the ground will dry out this week - and/or the pots will - it is, indeed, due to get improbable warm. But still. I'm going to have to design little pot rain-covers for the next time there's so much precipitation.
These things, as George Eliot would have said, are a parable. To be sure, she mightn't have had in mind the correspondence between over-watered foliage and my state at the end of the first day of the semester, which was far, far more grueling than the ordinary (and indeed often exciting) exhausting buzz. There was ... a great deal of administrative confusion about who, under our new hub system, is responsible for what - and what's worse, people who designed the outline of the system seem not to have considered so many things - so many things that people now don't know who's responsible for them. How do I reserve the Art History seminar room? ... to take a very basic example. I'm exhausted.
