Yeah! I am finally back in the world of reality and may be able to keep up with the forums again!

Again, I'm not going to try to comment on everything as I would be here all day, but RC and Pony, the kitty pictures are too much!!!

Willow and Bea, funny you should mention the eerrie toad walk...I went to turn my sprinkler off in my pumphouse last night at dusk, and saw something scurry across the floor. Was thinking it was a mouse, but I don't have much of a problem with them between the cats and the dogs, so had to turn on the light and have a look and see if I could still see it. Lo and behold, there was a tennis ball size toad trying his darndest to climb up the blade of a shovel and get away from me! Watching him try to paw his way up was just as bad as watching them walk!

I am sooo sorry that those of you who couldn't make it to roundup weren't there to enjoy with the rest of us, and Katie59, Katye, Susybell and Pony...we really missed having you with us on Sunday. The whole weekend was a fantastic time, and what a wonderful group of people this is!

Kathy, I am jealous...I would love the chance to walk through Katye's gardens...the colors in all of the pictures are just glorious!

I have a couple of pics from the last couple of weeks that are worth sharing. I really wanted to get this echie tied up before roundup, but it seemed like every time I came near it, almost every bloom had it's own bee!
