Hang Man

Remember Hang Man? It was my generation's version of Wordle. We had to guess the letters and ultimately the word before each wrong guess meant a drawn round head, stick body, two stick arms and two stick legs.

My version of Hang Man this summer has been Hanging Flower Baskets Man. Every 100 degree day, they get closer to their death. Every day without rain (a lot), still closer. Now, they be pretty much dead.

Did I kill them or did they just not have what it takes?

Oh my. This could be what inspired Crunchy Crunchy Day. I won't confirm or deny if this was part of my recipe.

Darn two black thumbs!

To my credit. I kept my son alive 18+ years at home. And Jim's still tickin'!
