So I missed "Summer" in more ways than one

[Mira]

It's been a rough summer for me. I got sick on June 16th and am only now slowly recovering from back surgery.
Onward and upward, though, with gratitude, and the surgery was a success.
I haven't looked at the entries or winners yet, but I will take care of that directly.

I ran across this photo just now, and liked it. It was the impetus to tell you I am on my way back.
I guess I took it, I recognize aspects of my backyard, but I barely remember.

Just saying hello, and "don't cry for me, Argentina" - I am going to be returning, and in much better shape at that.
