I'm growing this hydrangea for it's black stems which are very striking against the light green foliage. This year my newest hydrangea is Lady in Red. I did not take it's picture because I didn't get any blooms but it has red veined dark green leaves which are really pretty.
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.
