A little bud of white, a snowdrop, popped through the mulch and tree detritus, a promise of the spring to come.

Day to day life as a retiree, dedicated runner, avid gardener, reader, and a fearless cook.
About Me
- Teresa
- 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.

Given the terribly warm weather we've had here, I went around the newly exposed flower beds to make sure no one was poking their nose out of the soil, yet. Fortunately, unlike you, there were none.
I do remember being able to start looking for the first very early bulbs in January in the Pacific Northwest. That was lovely. Now it's late March. The price we pay for snow, and lots of it.
