I feel bad that you are stuck with that cold and snow, Summerlilly.  I wouldn't wish that ugly stuff on anyone.  Took me a while to see the pic.  It most certainly looks like the same stuff we have in our yard.  We have more of it.  I'm glad you are feeling pretty good.  I hope the fluid problem won't be a major problem to get rid of.  Glad you are back and hope you continue to be with us.
