ok .. me either: I'm not in the mood ken

Sheesh, you caught me with your subject line - I think I was expecting a petting zoo or something with live frolicking creatures! Maybe not so unusual; my sil has her golden lab Abbeys ashes in a decorative metal box provided by their vet, but not displayed. She was so sensitive about the subject of losing her pet I haven't asked about the ashes for a long time to know if they've been spread. Dispersed? I'm not sure what the right word is.... It's been SO stormy today, relentless wind and rain. I have anything that could get damp up off the floor in my basement now (tomorrows forecast even worse) where I'd let clutter get away from me...time for my microwave pillow and a nap!

Thanks for the link. That purple cat on the cover is amazing. There's an orchid auction at the Nationla Arboretum on March 1st that I'm planning on attending. DH isn't thrilled about spending his Bday at an orchid auction but I really want to go and get some new plants. At least the ones I can afford. I've seen plants that go for thousands of dollars. How can someone spend that much on a little plant is beyond me. $100 is my absolute limit for something in a 6" pot! Karyn

Katie, You do not need to be a society member to participate on the forum. I should have been more clear about that. It is open to anyone who wishes to talk crotons :)
