Hi Judy-
Thanks for your response about my refrigerator quandry. Looks like I'll
need to find an alternative. I remember reading on one of the gardening
lists that some people use waterbed heaters and they seem cheaper than
the ones sold through the plant supply places. (Just hate to keep
pumping money into this gardening obsession...) I have noticed that it's
quite warm on top of my four bulb florescent set up. Perhaps I could try
on top of that.
	You're certainly in great horse territory in Millbrook. Each year I
intend to go to the Millbrook three day but something always crowds it
out. (I primarily follow the eventers). Maybe I'll make it this year.
What sort of stable does your daughter manage?
	Also, speaking of Millbrook..just last week I saw a Home and Garden TV
show that featured "Extreme Homes" and had a wonderful hand built castle
that is in Millbrook. Are you familiar with it?
My regards..and thanks for the advice.
Pat
