Well, at least it's . . .

. . . bright and cheerful, even if not entirely untouched by human hands: a statement of joy upon awakening from a period of rest, repose, or may I say respite? Beginning to feel a bit like that myself as a matter of fact, trying to re-engage, encouraged by my ever-patient tame flora. Hope I don't suddenly blossom out with buds like that, though!

Thank you all very much for your kind comments on my tentative return.  Still hoping to get back into action soon.
