{freshing up the blog banner}...

Well ~ even though I haven't been spending much time blogging lately

I felt my banner really needed a renewal.

So here it is. 

I'm still spending most of my time relaxing and gardening.  Although

after the storms this week, in which hail and wind destroyed most of the flowering plants

and trees.  (I have leaves plaster to the front of my house).  Its more like major clean up than gardening.

So while the rains have stopped, for now,  I think I will go outside and do some more clean up play some more.  Play because here in Arizona we do love the rain.
