Hello Melissa!
Happy Spring and Happy Gardening!
I understand your position completely as I, too, love to garden. In fact, it consumes my life! However, here in northern Michigan, we don't even see our gardens until the end of March!
Be well!
Keep in touch!

Hello, Diane. I thank you for your comments. I have a lot to do and just need to spend more time outdoors. It is springtime here. I will continue to post, but at a more leisurely pace. Thanks.

A jaunty rhyming poem Melissa and you have green fingers? I love gardens and I only have a few flower pots on my driveway, the parks in England are my garden pleasure. Fanstory is a great pursuit during the winter months, but there is so much to do when the spring comes, especially in the garden. I wish you well whatever you do, it has been a pleasure to read your poetry and hope to see you on here from time to time, best wishes, love Dolly x

Thank you, Dolly. I will be posting, just not as often. It is taking too much time, and I want to spend more time outdoors. I will check back in before long and will probably do reviewing without posting... We will see.... Thanks a bunch.

I know, Melissa you did tell me about it, but here is your official message. I just hope you won't go away all together as I do love to read your work. Good luck with the garden shows. All best. Ulla:)))

Hi Melissa. I do hope you're okay and just in time for the gardening season. Yes, I agree that we're torn with our commitments. I find myself in the same boat. Balance is the key. I didn't know that you were recuperating from surgery. I'm almost "there" with recuperation from my eye surgery and do plan to go out for the first time by myself tomorrow. Hopefully--no more snow.

Hi, Marilyn. Yes, I am fine, just need to step back because I am so busy. I had foot surgery for a bad tendon and other things. I was in the bed for two months and spent my time on FanStory. It has been fun. Now, I am better and have the itch to garden. Thank you very much!

Oh I know what you're going through. I had foot surgery in fall of 2017 and in a cast for three months. It was awful. I couldn't wait to get around again.

Hi, Melissa,

Okay. Go ahead and have your life that doesn't involve writing and US.

I will miss you, but I'm glad you are returning to something you love, and will still try to drop by once in a while.

Awe! I don't know what I'll do without my daily dose of 'sugar' (ray) Melissa! No worries, you take care of business and whenever you can, throw us a poem or two. Did you really have a surgery recently or was that just a poetic twist you threw in there?

Hey, Kathleen. Thanks for popping by and reviewing. Yes, I had foot surgery on Nov 2 and was in bed for six weeks. I still have to keep it propped up a lot, but I am getting around better. I will be posting often, just not as much! Hugs.

Thanks for getting back to me Melissa. No worries, you post plenty and deserve some rest and relaxation though you are a busy lady! Hope your foot heals fast! Did you have a bunion? Only reason I ask is that I do and haven't set the time aside to be off my feet for six weeks!

Oh! I will be missing your posts, Melissa. I really enjoy reading your poems about nature.
You say you've been operated on? Glad to hear you are okay now.
See you around.

From your title, I was afraid that you might be leaving us for awhile for a sad reason. I love that you have a full life and that you are feeling well enough to enjoy all your hobbies again. All of your activities should give you more to write about. We will see you soon indeed.
