Bike ride

I went on my first bike ride since I got down here. Unfortunately, I just wasn't comfortable with it. The drivers were courteous, but there was too much traffic for my liking and there were no shoulders on 90% of the ride. I probably won't be riding on these roads again. Booo. There is a long trail up in Greenville called the Swamp Rabbit Trail, but it's not really practical for us to drive there very often. Still, I didn't realize there was one around here that was even worthwhile to ride on until I found out about Swamp Rabbit (most of the trails I've seen are 2 miles long--Swamp Rabbit is about 26 miles). (By the way, I love saying that. Swamp Rabbit.) (Also, I use parentheses too often.) Anyway, we may try out the Swamp Rabbit next weekend.

I noticed my plants started wilting today. WILTING! I've been so paranoid about over-watering that I apparently went the opposite direction and nearly killed them by under-watering. I gave them all a big dose of water, and the wilting pretty much went away within an hour.

I'm a bad plant parent.
