Carefully and tediously pieced bougainvillea bush is back together again; some glue here little bits of duct tape there to hold the fragile brittle branches as they heal. Surprise! I I had already planted it into the hard ground; the graveled area beside the driveway. Turning on the hose smiling happily pleased about how the fresh red blooms budding were so bright against the sharp green leaves barely covered the bent and broken angled branches. Days later I walked down the driveway to get the mail when I saw a river of rushing water three feet deep sprawl in yellow muddied ribbons across the street invading others property. This is going to be one heck of a water bill.
