The Ficus Wrangler

I'm trying to post, really I am.  I had a some brilliant insights and entertaining comments ready to posteritize (post for posterity, get it, get it...) when my cursor accidentally swept over a wrong spot, and pouff - the whole thing gone, into the ether, lost forever.  Par for the course.  So now this becomes my sunday post - I know,  it's monday - because baby darlin' is up wanting lunch and to help grandma on the computer.  And also to pull hair off the cat and deposite it on my knee.  So you can see, other duties call to me...
