Default [IBC] Wife's Thoughtful Birthday Bonsai Gift

Hey Luis,
My B-day was Saturday and with spring raging here I had (and have) a lot to
do. My bride makes certain I have all the things I need for those jobs.
You know, three or four different 'soils' that I use to create my bonsai
mixes. Wire. Pots, etc., but most of all a helping hand. Between us we
manage to repot about 10 plus trees a day, which means this year it will be
the 'Ides of March' before I'm finished. This year we're driving south to a
place I found that sells rock slabs (mostly to the pond trade) so I (we) can
get a bit more creative with the forest plantings I have in training pots
for years.

Wouldn't want to do it without her.

Regards,
Shelly Hurd Central CA - Sunset Zone 8-USDA Zone 9

I just had to share this with my bonsai buddies on the IBC. My wife, as

one
of her birthday gifts to me, carefully reviewed all the back issues I had

of
Bonsai Today and then carefully reviewed the available titles/issues that

she
knew would appeal to me the most. To top it off she renewed my

subscription
as well. I've been reading/studying them with zeal for a few days now.

I think I'll keep her ;-)

I know others have had wonderful bonsai related gifts. How about sharing

with
us the "Joy of Bonsai" as gifts.
