Survivin' ain't that easy ...

Several weeks ago, I showed you guys a cute little sign I came across on Pinterest. I told you I made one for myself to help keep my new aloe plant from entering into a downward spiral of depression that most flora seems to collapse into around here.

What I did not tell you, is that the bestie asked me to make her one too. Well, I am sorry to report that the bestie's hydrangeas could not be talked down from the ledge.

carnage ... total & complete carnage!

Apparently, I should have told her that while the survival sign is helpful ... it does not, in fact, take the place of actual hydration.

Rest in peace, sweet hydrangea, rest in peace.
