Dear Fire Gods: I don't know that woman. Who is she, and what has she done
with Kathy??

Yeah, H20, that stuff. We haven't had much either, but we're coming into our
rainy season, so late afternoon T-storms become the norm. The orchids are
loving it. It seemed that I couldn't give them enough of the stuff; imagine
that!

We've been using Martin Motes' method: water well, wait 10 or 15 minutes,
start over, do it again. Same with fertilizer. Now that the rains are coming
we have to pick and choose when we feed.

Yogi Berra, on seeing the rain start: "Where did that come from?"

As in H2O? Wow!! We haven't seen much of that, though the old grey ones
will speak of such things around the fire late at night when they think
younglings are sleeping. Funny again that I was once considered a
youngling when the oldsters talked freely of "rain". [sigh] Yet, still,
now and again we hear travellers speak of things called 'floods' where
something called 'insurance' needs to be purchased in case 'levies' break
as wash one's soul away. Oh! The horror! but still...One day I'd like
to see such 'rain'. The old women cross themselves and make the sign to
protect them from the evil eye when I say such things out loud. So I post
them to newsgroups instead. I don't think its the same......... do you?
[gulp] The fire gods may hear me... I hope the orchid gods will protect
my soul.

Not K Barrett, some other K Barrett, not the one in N Calif, USA......Take
Julia, not me.

What are those clear bead-like things on the leaves at the lower right?

This poor thing has gone through a lot, including some frost bite last
winter (mea culpa!). But it's doing fine now, throwing off spike after
spike.
