Hi Joan, Yes we are still here. Gloomy weather here. We are desiring some sun shine...then will get bored with that as summer progresses. Not any weather for yard work yet. Daffidols are blooming as well as violets poking their faces forth. I did notice some red peony stalks in the rubble of last years dead stalks. Friend husband promises great things in the garden area when he can get there. Like raised beds for the veggies. My leg and back don't take the ground level stuff anymore. 13 year old granddaughter is the onion planter with her 6 year old brother. Onion plants arrived a month early....they live in a bucket of potting soil on the cool back porch. The geranium plants are growing from seed. Cute little critters. Take care now. Hope the back can be fixed and you will be relieved of pain.
