It's like this....

...the photo is from last year, about this time.  Recently, I had a photo-download-fail, just as I formatted the camera; obliterating about 47 mediocre photos. But at least they were current.   I'm freakin' still in the tank doing several family members taxes--the clouds are clearing. I'll work some more this evening.  Today I went outside, stuck my hands in the dirt, figuratively, began the work on Garden 2012. And somewhere, I see pale blue sky beyond the confusion in the foreground. I hope.
