This one's going into the idea file!)<br /><br />Two, I just gave the coup de grace to a cactus that just wasn't thriving (Actually, I chopped all the spindly off the top and relocated the pot with the bottom segment to hopefully a better location) - I kept all the segments and I'm drying them out so I can grab those spines and do something creative with them. This was yesterday!<br /><br />Little synchronicities are amusing, no?Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15597630887713954960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-22528462234497330362010-10-23T19:56:16.053-07:002010-10-23T19:56:16.053-07:00Oh, I so love your ideas.

I've always thought it was neat that spines survive after the cactus "implodes as you put it. I've never been much for Halloween decor, but being a gardener made it more fun. I'm sure you remember the "gack o' lantern" from earlier this month!
