Lovely banner!! Thank You!
I am not a person who 'collects' plants but I have to say, the Heuchera would be the one type of plant I would collect if I had space/money/time, etc. Each one is beautiful.

Thanks everyone for the comments and thumbs.

I haven't been able to be on the computer, since before Friday night at 8 pm, due to a fall on the patio. While I was bringing in one our 6 (3 in the backyard and 3 in the front yard) hummingbird feeders in the backyard to clean and refill, I lost my balance and fell backwards on the concrete patio. My tailbone took the brunt of it and I scraped on of my elbows. I've had a hard time getting around the house, since then and this is the first time that I've been able to get on the chair to catch up with a lot of computer stuff. My tailbone still bothers me, but I'm happy that I can finally get back on the computer today.

Here's the pic I made the banner with. Paris is one of my favorites!



Happy Independence Day! 242 years! Hurray! Thumbs up

@Marilyn Group hug Group hug Group hug Sorry for your fall. I've broken my tailbone twice and it is extremely painful.

Marilyn, I'm so sorry you fell and hurt your tailbone. That can be so painful. Crying I hope it won't bother you for too long. Smiling

Thanks Jean and Frenchy. I get tired if I sit too long, so I can't sit for too long at the desktop computer and/or on the couch at a time.

My husband has been taking care of the hummingbird feeders and with full week long 90+ heat wave we've been having, it means doing it every other day (which I'd be doing). Looks like more 90+ heat next week also. A very hot spring and summer here and it's only July 4.

He's adding 2 suet cakes to the feeders, refilling the other bird feeders and spreading the bird seed every day and other things.

Thanks Cal. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner, but my tailbone and lower back still bothers me, that I don't spend much time on the desktop computer. Being 62, I think it's going to take more time to heal than I would like it to. Even sitting at the couch after a while, bothers me enough that I need to lay down on the couch or the bed to feel comfortable. Dean, 66, still takes the time to refill all 6 of the hummingbird feeders every other day and anything else I need him to do. Group hug
