You are a Maine Coon! You are larger than life, a
gentle giant. You are independent, but very
affectionate with your friends and family.

What breed of cat are you?

My friend in New Hampshire had a Maine Coon. I want to say her name was Miss Tiger, but I don't remember exactly. I love big cats. Bob would often weigh 18 lbs. in the winter. They make good blankets. Blankets with the additional bonus of purring. I miss cats on the bed. Sigh.

I have potting soil and two hellebores (Christmas or Lenten rose) I got in the mail from Park Seed several weeks ago that are going to croak if I don't repot them) and several varieties of bulbs from Dutch Gardens last week (including some Jetfire Daffodils, which Gareth picked since they seem to be named after a Transformer). I also have some Italian Pansy seeds but I think I'll wait to start them and maybe share some with my garden club. I am going to go put them in pots and/or the ground before it gets dark, so I can say I accomplished something today.

We've dragged out the Christmas ornaments, but this place is such a dump, I don't know where I'm going to put anything. The plan is to get a tree tonight. John is thinking Home Depot, and IKEA has cheap trees that come with a coupon, and after the holidays they will mulch your tree if you bring it back (and actually hand you a bag of mulch to take home). I dunno tho'; the city will compost trees if you put them out with a week or two after New Year's and I think I'd rather support a mom and pop place. The only problem with this scenario is that we have been known to leave our tree up sometimes until Martin Luther King Jr. Day (once it was almost Valentine's Day).
