Ah-h-h, Vickie, you may rescue mongrels to be your fur-buddies, but you had some mineral equivalents of poodles and Pomeranians among the rock collection you have shared. :-)
Here, Carrie, you can choose among the remaining quartz litter. Amargia will kennel your pet rock for you until you’re ready. ROFL. You have to choose one and give it a name though. They make wonderful pets. They don’t chew on your shoes or furniture and they don’t puddle on the floor. True, they may not be as interesting as a dog, cat or amaryllis. But, quartz has an unusual amount of personality for a pet rock, especially resting in a place it can play with changing light. You can trust a pet rock to keep your paperwork in place without making a mess of it. That can’t be said for a canine, a feline or even an Amaryllidaceae. I wish I had a sunny place for an amaryllis in winter. I would like to try the fragrant variety, ‘Jewel’. All my sunny windows are over-crowded with plants already. .
Feeling okay, Debra? I am so-o-o ready for some outdoor time. Being on the front porch is something, I guess. But, that is really Jim’s realm. He still has all the rail planters and hanging baskets in winter veggies and edibles. He’s decided to forgive me for snagging the ‘Sugar Snap’ peas in the hanging basket. What can I say? I love peas. I’m growing accustomed to the veggie themed front porch. It is practical, fun and a little off-the-wall. Just like Jim! :-) k*
