Re: Happy Birthday Island Jim!

Have a great BBQ Jim, and those leaves on the Macodes are fabulous. Love
the Philo too! Someone came in the shop today and asked for a
Philodendron and I showed her what we had and she said no, that's not
it. Then she went to a huge Pothos and said, "this is the one I want"
and looked at me like I was an idiot for not calling it a Philodendron.
I wanted to correct her but I held my tongue..........

 
Glad Kitty-poops is getting used to the place!

Yeah, those leaves are something else.

Well, the main event will be a BBQ this afternoon.

And, no, Kitty-Poops doesn't have a name yet. But she has learned how 
to get in and out through the cat door--and seems happier to be in than 
out, although she's still exploring the yard.
