1. Very, very, very nice to see you posting again...

...I wondered if you were OK after your surgery.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Aw, thank you, my dear Raster!

How nice of you to say so.

I am still recovering, and my progress, though slow, is happening. I'm OK, just not 100% yet.

[Raster]

7. You have been missed.

Very best wishes and best of healing thoughts. You truly are one of the best of us.

8. My goodness, you are too kind. Thank you so much....

I know it's going on, and I don't have anything really suitable, alas.

15. Why not red berries for WINTER? The calendar doesn't turn to spring for another 3 weeks!

Part of our seasonal WINTER here in NC is red berries on lots of different plants. Holly, winterberries...

Your photo looks like a contender.

As I get older, healing takes longer. But I will get there.
