Good morning all! I have been up awhile, and have read all the chat, but then went out in the greenhouse to do some watering and cleaning up. I discovered a new bloom stem one one of my orchids! It will be awhile before I get to see the bloom 'cause they are so slow developing, but once the blooms open they last for weeks. The pics I posted yesterday are orchids, the purple and white beauty is a cattleya that DH gave me a couple of years ago. It was in bud at that time, but didn't take too kindly to being shipped across country and the bloom failed. I am so glad it finally woke up. I can't figure out why I get more orchid blooms during the winter in the greenhouse than I do in the summer with them all outside! But, I'm not about to argue - at least they *do* bloom!

Carol (DR) Love, support and prayers to you and your family through this trying time. We will be here for you whenever you need us.

Susan - have you ever tried a "pill popper" to get Indy's pills down? I have a 20 pounder that had to have pills twice a day for weeks. That popper, and giving him a treat right after the pill, worked wonders for us. He even came to me for his meds so he could get his reward.

Well, I best get back to the greenhouse cleaning for a bit, then on to less fun things like house cleaning. Amazing isn't it? Leave off the word green and the work is no longer fun!

Blessings on thee, little man,
