I have so much stuff at hand... and it’s easier to just post one here and there as I sort, save and throw away.
The subject matter is so easy, I can’t believe the trickling of the entries.
I did my first hour of purging photos tonight after coming home and pulling up tons of weeds and making the garden and deck mine again after it got overrun by the growing season in the 5 weeks I was gone. Still lots to do. Progress on all fronts is very slow.

I'm not sure how to go about drumming up more involvement, so any suggestions are welcome.

As I told Solly Mack above, I hope I haven't done something to put people off of contributing to this contest. I didn't include one theme suggestion in the initial polling because it is a subject that is likely to be pretty heavily covered in the Spring contest. I may have offended some of our regulars by doing that. I hope not.

Glad you are back safely.

I do appreciate the help. I've not run one of these before. I hope I haven't made a mistake somewhere along the way that has put people off.

You're doing a great job.

I do that from time to time. Help promote in the lounge.
