This has been quite a summer, and it seems like we've all been tempted to throw in the towel once or twice. First it was the battle of the spider mites, then some people got too much rain, some got no rain at all. A few got wind and hail resulting in holes in their brugs. If you didn't get bloom or leave drop you got sprayed in the face with bug spray when the wind changed directions.

The prize is The Shirley Poppy Fairy, from Series VIII. She's about 3 inches tall and comes with a little spike so you can put her in the ground, or you can hang her from a branch. Also included is a pair of the now infamous Wonder Gloves.

Contest will run through Monday night 9 PM Pacific time, and then there will be a new thread opened for voting.
