jean de florette flashbacks

ok, so after work, and after finishing the epic novel i watered my garden.....this is a tedious endeavor these days.....a single gallon at a time drawn from the saved bathwater in the downstairs lavatory.....the temperature was intense enough that i had a jean de florette flashback...of gerard depardieu carrying water from the spring to his carnations and his rabbits.....back and forth, back and forth.....painfully tragic scenes......realistically, my struggle was short-lived...only 17 trips.....and pointless...as it is pouring down as we speak......i do believe completely that had i not watered, it would not have rained.......
