My neighbor's idea of a weak rum and Coke is strangely STRONG. Especially on an empty stomach.
Not that the cats care because they do not know about internet memes they are cats.
That right there is perfect.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Sox, I got home (NJ) yesterday afternoon. But Philadelphia is delightfully only an hour and a half away. I think I could live in Chadds Ford and die happy from all the conveniently located arboreta and botanic gardens.

I can practically throw a rock at Chadds Ford from where I live.

Heh. But I had to work on it; it wasn't spontaneous.

Oh my god, I would kill Toke if she did that. (You are not spices cat. You cannot make a meal more flavorful and zesty. You can only make a meal furry but what do you know about gourmet food you eat gooshy food you are a cat.)

Sounds mini-F2F-ish to me...

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
The first time I stayed at the Brandywine River Hotel, I was mortified at (I'm sorry) how it was 100% guested by blue-haired ladies. The second (this) time, I was wishing for those wonderful, quiet, respectful ladies back. My neighbor was on the phone until 4am, and then back on the phone at 6am and some passive aggressive door-slamming going on.
I could be tempted to work at Morris. Great place, friendly inviting staff.
I am sad that most places are geared towards spring. Because, as a horticulturist, I can't really take time to visit other gardens at their peak. Visited Jenkins, wonderful. Longwood actually made me depressed with its budget that I will never touch working at a place that pays thousands for a tent for one night, but doesn't understand what goes into the flora and art of horticulture in a public garden. I literally stopped dead in my tracks at their little room gardens, turned around, sat down, and almost cried. Envy is not pretty.

Egg Beaters: everyone! go to Morris Arboretum and bounce on the rope netting and say you don't feel like you're ten years old! The silly treehouses at Longwood have nothing on this.

Very true! We love the treehouse. Lying on the nets, looking down at the forest floor too.
Some more to see are the Barnes Foundation gardens (though the art collection is sadly moving downtown) and Bartram's Garden (http://www.bartramsgarden.org/), as well as Chanticleer (http://www.chanticleergarden.org/)
