We were out working like fiends in the garden yesterday, then a line of severe storms moved in and I had to shut off the computer--so this is definitely under the better late than never category! hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-18627825227684254612013-05-09T09:42:29.731-05:002013-05-09T09:42:29.731-05:00An excellent challenge, as always , Kerry.

I would have loved to do this prompt, but I am preparing to go away for a mini 23rd wedding anniversary - trying to get all the laundry done, etc. When we get back I will be getting my daughter from boarding school and she is graduating next weekend too! So, I will be hit and miss for a while (and I'm already hating it... but "life" kicks in some times). I AM working on my challenge for the 17th so that will be done in advance.
