In answer to your queries: Yes, we are still alive. No, the garden newsletter hasn't been started. And, obviously, I haven't gotten around to removing the family post that I accidentally put on this blog.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I haven't been able to work on the newsletter. I'll get to it at my first opportunity. I doubt any of you are overly anxious to get out in the 110 degree days we are having anyhow. :)

I'm checking on my sick daughter and then crawling back into my comfy bed to try to rest and regain my energy... Hopefully, we'll be amongst the living soon. I've been too sick to even read Breaking Dawn!!! Now you know how serious this really is...

:P
