I intended to let my plants soak up some sunshine. Just a quick moment outdoors, I thought. But in the rush of packing for my trip, I completely forgot about them.
As I traveled, the weather reports warned of relentless downpours. My heart sank with each forecast. I imagined my poor plants being drowned by the rain, their roots rotting away in flooded soil. The thought of losing them plagued my mind.
Days turned into a blur of worry. What would I find when I returned? Guilt consumed me. I felt like the worst plant parent ever.
Finally, I stepped outside and stopped in my tracks. They were thriving! Lush and vibrant, transforming into a jungle. I couldn’t help but laugh with relief.
