    There’s a message in there. Take it from an 81 year old.

    We all need a little watering and nurturing – droopy as we may be.

    African Violets…first they tell you to keep them in a damp, humid environment, then they tell you never to get the leaves wet. And yet in Nature they live near waterfalls etc. One of the mysteries of life.

    Whose plant is it? I never water plants because A) I don’t buy them or want them and B) my wife knows I would probably drown them.

    You have to be careful with African violets. I wouldn’t want Earl to water them. I can kill them myself.

    The greatest bit of wisdom I ever heard from a horticulturist about house plants: They mostly succumb to one thing – overwatering.It seems Opal can’t exercise control over her house plant, so she will try to control Earl. So far, he doesn’t buy into her attempt.

    It could be overwatered so the roots rotted. That would make it droop too. It’s better to leave the watering to the person who knows how to do it.

    That may be so, Earl.

    But you’re still as funny and cool as ever!

    Maybe some viagra would help Earl’s droopiness.

    It had taken me afew of our 46 years of marital bliss to turn the wife’s “brown” thumb into a green one. Now, I’m left with caring for my rose trees, SHE can do the rest, ya know???
