This is brilliant John! This made me feel as I did when my cactus bloomed after waiting a year for it. I kept scolding it, telling it "you're supposed to bloom, why aren't you blooming!" May arrived and on my birthday I noticed it bloomed. I apologized. Congratulations on your well deserved win! ; )

Thank you, Connie. I enjoyed your cactus story, thanks for sharing. Nature gives us much hope, and sometimes a little patience helps as well. Best wishes. John
