Hey gang!!! I'm SO SORRY I've been MIA for so long, but summer just sort of consumed me. I'll admit I've not caught up on the last couple of threads, but wanted to at least let y'all know I hadn't completely dropped off the face of the earth. I've thought of all of you each time I look at either the front yard, or the back. We finally got the grass out of the front yard so I could put in all the seedlings I started from the Piggy Swap (tithonia, zinnia, wheat straw celosia and other celosia, dianthus, globe amaranthus, castor bean, hollyhock, snapdragons, eggplant, tomato - lordy I've lost track...). I've attached a pic from the front yard, and will put up some more pics.

I've not even had the chance to catch up with Her Highness, the Illustrious Illoquin to show her the pics of the dahlias she gave me that are STILL blooming wonderfully with the Mexican Bush Sage (next to which I have some volunteer Coral Nymph Salvia - which has volunteered and just came into bloom a week ago).

I've thought of you all at least once every day - and wallowed in how wonderful both the front and back yard look thanks to all your seeds!!

OK, enough giddy talk, here are some pics!
