Am I Drought Resistant?

 Summer in Texas this year has been a scorcher!  We are on our billionth (it seems like!) day of 100 degree heat and again promises to be over 100 degrees today without so much as a dribble of rain!  I have thrown so much water on my dying for thirst flowers and yet they still look pathetically thirsty!  After consulting the experts it appears that the root structure is weak…that the roots don’t go very deep, that they are in fact shallow.  When they encounter drought, the flowers that were so beautiful and lush and easy to please in the spring have become dried up, barely surviving, shriveled up, cantankerous, not so enjoyable!  I guess there is a reason they are called “annuals”.

How deep are my roots?  Am I  an annual, here for a season but not establishing roots that will withstand the toughest drought? I would have to admit that I am coming out of a season that I was wilting, demanding, and not very attractive.  Certainly not looking like my roots were very established.  I am committing myself to take those roots deeper, preparing myself for the next season, whatever it may bring.

We are gearing up for our annual, epic Honey and Tatu camp!! It is the highlight of my year and this year promises to be just as exciting!  One of the rules of camp is that you have to be 4 years old.  This will be the last year with two of our grandsons as their sister will be  

joining us next year.  Last year we visited a cave, went to the beach, had several night swims and lots of other cool stuff that left us some pooped out grandparents at the end of their stay!  This year we are headed back to the beach for a couple of days, have a lake day planned,  movie day and lots of their favorite foods and just their favorite things in general, the least of these being our undivided attention! We love it!
