Juniper Tree

Sorry to hear about your cat Phil.
I went and bought a miniature juniper tree today, to plant in a pot to commemorate Old Lady Cat; when Offsprog One returns from college for Christmas we'll have a little planting ceremony.
Our old Grumpy Tabby who popped off years ago has a little tree of her own, and the Carrotfish had a geranium, but that didn't last, unfortunately.
I suppose it's a bit morbid, all this with the risk of an eventual small forest of potted trees following me round the country!

    We planted a tree in memory of our first dog, a little poodle called Bonnie, but we've moved house several times since then ....

  2. Thanks. That's a nice idea. I only have a north-facing balcony though - good for ivy, hostas and ferns but not healthy for trees. I am going out to get a Christmas tree tonight, so we will smell of fir and Canadian forests for a while, till we drag it out to the sidewalk after 12 days of Christmas.
