The Little Things
Top to bottom: Wintergreen (or Indian Chewing gum as my grandma always told me), mauve hellebore, pulmonaria, arisaema (look VERY closely and you can see the little 'mouse tails' of the flowers) and last but not least, the floor of one of my woodland garden beds. The Oregon Grape is about to bloom, it is joined by Goat's Beard and a lovely fern whose name I can't recall.
My blog's title originated in July 2004 as I was preparing to send my then 16 year old daughter to Annecy, France as an exchange student. It was to be a 10 and 1/2 month separation that I was sure I could not endure. BUT, thanks to the internet and blogging I survived her adventures outside of our 'nest'. Once she returned, I thought of changing the title but realized that 10 and 1/2 Months was a fitting description of the cycle of my teaching life too. Now that I am retired the days and months have much less structure but the title remains out of nostalgia for my teaching days.
