  Hi. It's Me....

  Whoa.

  It's been two months since i last posted!

  I don't even know what to say. I'm almost embarrassed to come back after neglecting my blog for so long, but my mom and one of my granddaughters kinda scolded me for not writing.

  So i'm back.

  Oh, it hasn't been because i lost interest in Xanga, or i haven't been wondering how all my Xangamigos have been doing (you ARE all well, aren't you?). I've just been busy. Lame, but true!

  I've been  away at my daughter's for a week; at the beach for a week; hubby and i are building a new deck to replace the old one we tore down last Spring; we've been putting in some raised beds for veggies; some walkways between the beds; and planting beans, corn, zucchini, tomatoes, peppers, parsley, onions and swiss chard. Oh, and spinach. We've already dried some oregano and some mint for meadow tea.

  The patio behind the house was in deplorable condition, since we've basically neglected it for years. There's a six-foot fence around it on which ivy is growing, and the ivy has all but taken over the patio. So we spent several days trimming it, raking up the trimmings to put around the poplar trees in the back yard, and sweeping up all the litter to use in the compost piles. (I got three nasty bee stings from a nest hidden in the overgrown ivy. Sons-of-a-gun are still red, swollen and itchy, and i got stung on Saturday! Bob took care of the rascals -- they weren't honeybees -- so i was able to finish the cleanup. My hero... : ) )

  And then there were the flower gardens, the weeds, staking up the peonies, the weeds, mulching, trimming, and the weeds.

  And ya know what? The housework never went away during all that time! Not once. Bummer.

  So... that's why i've been MIA.

  Anyhoo... i hope to be able to get back to Xanga at least once a week if i can. Summers are always full, and this year seems especially so.

  Does anybody out there remember me?

  I miss my friends...
