Re: does this page make sense?

I have it growing under a sycamore tree, in fairly poor soil, so it  
is a little better behaved....
Returned from 6 days in Wichita Falls, TX. Had great fun with the  
granddaughters and managed to get my daughter's flower beds weeded.  
Unfortunately, many of her perennials, which I planted last year, did  
not make it. They were drought tolerant species, but had not had time  
to establish themselves before the drought, and she was too busy with  
the children to water them enough. She is moving to Colorado Springs  
this summer, so I guess she won't replace the losses. Spent most of  
the afternoon redoing my dry creek in the shade garden, but am a few  
geodes short. Supposed to rain some tomorrow, so gardening activity  
may be limited. At least half of the plants have broken dormancy.
