The nature of reflection

I've let things go for a week or two. Totally discouraged by damage caused by the 30+ winds. Plumeria stalks broken, begonias rotten from the gusting torrential rains. I burned two of the small purple bougainvillea by putting fertilizer on the roots which are hair-like and shallow and very susceptible to indiscreet, heavy-handed feeding. I trimmed dead-looking branches, topped off the potato tree, and finally swept up as the days have cleared. Still need to plant the pandora vine which will require a bag of rocks and some soil-- I've feeling quite lazy lately. It's summer time and it's hot down here...
