Dry and yet not too bad ?

I am guilty ..... really GUILTY .... I should have been watering a LOT MORE .. yet even though I haven't, things aren't too drastic .. or is it waiting for me .. I go tripping out to the garden , enjoying a beautiful Kingston, October day .. and wham .. a dust storm of my own doing cracks the whip at me .. but so far ..... not yet ... the saga continues .. meanwhile there is still "greenery" !
