Oh, and have been trying to cope by buying some plants I can putz around with inside. I just purchased a begonia called 'Seattle Twist'. Beautiful foliage. Can be grown as a houseplant...I'm going to try it in a hanging basket by the front living room window. Do you know how hard it is to find Macrame pot hangers these days...I haven't tried walmart yet, will try that this weekend. Our Home Depot use to carry them. Zero, Zilch, Nada!!
