Re-Emerging

I've been away from my blog because of trouble with a herniated disc in my neck and a bout of stomach flu. YECH! I'd forgotten (and that's probably a good thing) how wretched the latter is. The silver lining: I lost 5 pounds -- maybe six, if I ease myself onto the scale. I'm slowly, slowly, slowly trying to get back into things, but I think it's going to take a while since I'm just wiped out. So, I'll just post a flower picture from last spring and crawl back into bed. Thanks for your patience! I hope to be back soon.
