After being reminded in a friend's blog about the tradition of burying St. Joseph (upside down and facing the street) when one is trying to sell a home, I finally - over a year into my real estate attempt - bought a St. Joe statute and planted him. The next day, a rather sincere and even excessive offering had been deposited right on top of the burial spot by some local animal, perhaps a cat that was impressed by the newly softened earth. (I buried St. Joseph by my beautiful pink Peony plant, but the animal offering was not Peeony inspired.)

I am not sure what kind of omen this is, but am hoping that the good saint is now grateful to me for his upside down posture (think about it, Joe, it could have been worse!) and will act quickly on my behalf.

um, in New York we have a phrase that means "got lucky". The phrase is, "stepped in s**t". So I think you should put on a pair of shoes you hate and were going to throw away anyhow, and just go do it. Can't hurt!

Gee, thanks for the advice, Tink -- no wonder everyone wants to live in new york!
LOL. Our St. Joe gets planted next week. I'm hoping that some neighborhood creature doesn't decide to do the same thing to my St. Joe! Good luck on selling your place.
Ummmm---don't quite know what to say.
Poor St.Joe.But you might remind him that $hitt is warm and cozy....
