my thirsty plants

three days in a row now i have been duped by the powers that be into thinking it was going to rain. there were big thick grey clouds in the sky and i swear i could even see rain far far off in the distance yesterday afternoon. my plants have been asking for water for three days but i didnt water, i knew it was going to rain, but it never did so i came home for lunch today and my holly hocks are losing their holly, my braided basil plant looks half dead, the orange mint is kind of hanging in there but i know if i look around the side of the house i will be lucky to salvage my penny royal. RAIN DANG IT!!! well it probably will now that ive watered all the plants.
