Last week, my collaborator, “partner in crime,” and friend, HerbDoc, had a serious stroke. We were all pretty worried for a while, but she has now gone home to continue her tough road to recovery. That’s very good news, but it’ll be a while before her interesting and informative posts grace this blog again.
As my fellow bloggers know, it’s not always easy finding stuff to write about. I don’t want to let my readers down by publishing too infrequently, but I don’t want to bore them with drivel, either. HerbDoc’s posts are always so interesting and fun. I especially love her musings on the animals and birds that visit her garden. And of course, as her tag implies, she knows a great deal about herbs, and shares that knowledge freely on this blog.
I am assuming she’ll be back writing with me, sooner rather than later. I hope those of you who have enjoyed her contributions will join me in sending her healing vibes in whatever form you choose.
Get well soon, Kathy! I miss you already.

I’ll miss you and your encouraging and insightful words, herbdoc. You are in my prayers and I’m sending good thoughts your way as you recover.
Post when the spirit moves you, dirtynailz.
I look forward to all the Digging RI posts, even if they arrive infrequently. You WON’T be forgotten.

Thanks for your kind words, CJ. They mean a lot.
I will continue to post regularly in HerbDoc’s absence, so fear not.
And if you ever have the urge to write a guest post, don’t hesitate to let me know!

So sorry to hear this. Am sending healing wishes and prayers to HerbDoc. I look forward to hearing from her again when she’s up to it. Thank God for our neural plasticity and our increased knowledge about stroke rehab. Rehab can do wonders.
Don’t worry about the drivel, you’re not capable of that.
Thanks for letting us know. / a concerned fan
