Re: Re: Off Topic - MLK & Sam Smith's Progressive

Indoors? That's expected. (I have windowsfull of impatiens, brought indoors
before the fall).
    But that AWFUL little man down South was planting OUTdoors.
    I'm calling Pat Robertson to ask for a hard freeze.

  Mike,

  I have the NYC Ballet to attend this weekend - with them awfully fit young
ladies dancing around in their scanties...
  And I still have paperwhites, Christmas Cactus, Amaryllis, assorted green
leafy plants, an avocado pit, a Chia Pet and some cheapie phalenopsis orchids
working on my windowsill, so if it snows, I can watch the snowflakes through
my small, if odd jungle.

  Cheers,

  Adam

  A truly nice man would NOT rub warm climate brags in our chilly chilly
