Third Third-Saturday Workshop

While prepping for this post (Toozday 3/16), our Succulent Sensei put out this e-mail / warning:  

All right, you Brainless Bonsai Buttkebabs----
     The third Saturday of March approaches, and you know the horror THAT will bring---- and yes, you are right. On Saturday AM at 10:00--- note time delay for jaded Suckorroans--- we will meet for an attempt to broadcast from outdoors at the ramshackle "bonsai garden" of the Succulent Sensei, a cyber-slum of heinous proportions. In our current series, we will repot the infamous Rickey Fox juniper into good soil from the reprehensible slop in which it has been growing happily and healthily for years, and see if the poor tree can survive this "improvement". I hope to have other entertainments as well, and I know our coven can always take their usual trip down BS Rd. Also, if our electronics cooperate, we'll revisit Bob the Impaler's elm, which apparently caused bitterness and rancor at our meeting.
     After nasty threats and extreme pressure from Mr. Ackerson, I sent for a bag of Akadama-- something I swore I would not do EVER. But, unless you can catch him after a chemo session, he is not a man to be trifled-with, so akadama it is. It probably won't get here by Sat. 
     Speaking of Mark the Shark, you should all be buying tickets for his tree. We'll bitch about that, too, on Sat.
OK!! It's all about to HAPPEN!!! Gear up that Zoom, you beasts!!!

Yesterday was the third month of 2021 and the third Saturday of the month, so it's off to the bonsai Zoom workshop.  Here's John doing a demo from outside Station Socorro.



And here's our band of stalwarts in gallery view.
