Ross ("How did you get the plants up there?")
I put my ladder on a chest, stood on that and "hung" the plants on a broom. Then literally tossed them up...
After they were on the shelf (at least), THAT'S when I discovered I could jump on the kitchen counter, climb on top of the 'frig and hang over the pot shelf... and I used the broom to arrange them.

Bob: (plunger/ twist)
If I can't reach with a broom or ladder, I couldn't reach with a plunger. Unless it had a hydraulic extension...

Ralph: (Have the cat change it)
Geez Ralph!! That is NOT a cat.
It is a ceramic Sheltie (like my dog) that my son gave me for Christmas.
It's one of "those things" we get from our kids... and you gotta display it (somewhere).
And the pot shelf was "was where" this time.

And I'd make the dog do it, but he's blind.

John and Terry: (buy a ladder)
Yes- another new ladder certainly seems to be what I need. I was really hoping htere was a "hab-it extending tool" to do this.
My concern is if I go with a longer/ taller ladder than than the oneS (that's plural) I have, I won't be able manuever or carry it anyway!
I have enough problems navigating a 6' ladder...
I'll have to see if I can even CARRY one TWICE that long

Terry: (casino collectibles)
My house doesn't show any signs of my collection... except for my smoking section in garage (lined the wall with ashtrays... plus covered the wall with "hearty" Harrah's items)- and my office. And the closets, porch/ patio/ and I confess, there's a few items in my bathroom. And a few in my bedroom. And some in Wyatt's room - BUT THAT'S IT!!

To several of you: (BB gun)
We don't have a BB gun... will a .38 do?

Finally - how do I water them?
They're FAKE!! I figured I'd have plenty of time to learn to rope and lasso by "dusting time".
