When youngest grandson was here the other day, I suddenly realised that I'd left the two sage plants out & it was expected to get colder, so I went & got them & was telling them sorry & you really have to come in its getting too cold for you yet...& then I clocked the look on his face,
I'd obviously been well & & truly rumbled so I admitted to talking to plants (& lots of other things but I didn't burden him with that) because I have a plum tree in the garden which I'd had for years without so much as one tiny blossom, but after I told it that, if there wasn't at least blossoms next spring, then come the next winter & it would be firewood.
The next spring it was covered in blossom & has plums every year...
I'm expecting a few sideways looks from him in the future...well, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
