I would like to start this entry by apologizing to my viewership, for I am dreadfully sorry to have to admit that as a result of unforeseen circumstances, this Saturday will be devoid of a new episode of Kevin Carmichael's Greenfingers. I understand that that's the day that people expect it, but instead it will be released on a Monday, despite the fact that I'm aware that that isn't the same as Saturday at all. In the interest of full disclosure and getting the sympathies of those who will experience disappointment at the prospect of having to wait the extra couple days for my words, I will explain to you the events leading to this delay.
As I woke up this morning and began my early gardening ceremonies, the Petunias caught my eye. While the Petunias rarely fail to catch my eye, this was an instance when it was out of something other than a desire for pleasurable distraction. As someone with a deep feel for plants, it only took me a few seconds and a whiff of the air to notice something insidious was afoot. Further investigation confirmed my suspicions, it seems my Petunias have recently entered a stage of clinical depression. As plant-owners yourselves, I'm sure you can understand my need to prioritize this, and I don't need to tell you the level of distress one goes through when a flower has lost its exuberance, much less when the number exceeds one. I'm going to sleepover in the garden for a few nights to try to take their minds off things. Maybe get them some special fertilizer or another form of excitement; in fact, perhaps I will set up a television and we shall marathon Magnum P.I.! I'm certainly no stranger to the healing powers of basking in the warm light of television, especially when accented by the soothing tones of Tom Selleck's moustache.
So, until Monday.
Godspeed,
Kevin Bartholomew Carmichael
