Since I've had 3 back surgeries and still have complications, I find it a great treat to be able to go out and putter in the garden, even pulling weeds!

I'm thinking pictures of even a flower basket or a close-up of a single flower would be welcome in our cyber garden tour, and of course for whatever treat/refreshment you bring, you must provide the recipe! <br /><br />I hope we'll get lots of participants.
