Maybe I'm too mad at the aquirrels, who discovered our back yard. I wasn't sure who was digging up all my hanging baskets and pots until I saw a squirrel take a dust bath in what was left of one of my pansy pots. I think anyone who feed squirrels should be forced to plant a bunch of hanging baskets, take care of them, and then suffer the consequences. End of rant. Enjoyed your garden pictures; feel better soon!

But my favorites may actually be the leaves.
