MR. BROWN THUMB IS ALIVE AND WELL

Blue Horse
from my Cavescape series

While I was away down in Florida I neglected my regular visits to favorite blogs . When I returned after a month I discovered that my fellow Chicago blogger and virtual friend Mr. Brown Thumb had suddenly stopped blogging on January 13, which was very unusual for him, a frequent poster.

There were more than 48 messages left on his last post inquiring about his well-being and I know many people emailed him as well. He and I had exchanged a few emails and I recalled in one of them that he said he was a member of a certain garden forum so I went there in search of him.

After two days I received a message from him saying he way okay. He said he was touched that I was looking for him and asked " Has it been that long ? Two months and no posts? Yah, long in my book. You had a l of us thinking dire thoughts, Mr. Brown Thumb. Now we can all breathe a sigh of relief.

I know that all his fans and followers will be very happy to hear that is safe and well. The garden blog world wouldn't be the same without him.
