Today's Garden
The rhubarb is up! The new green of euphorbia stands out against the rockery. This bee does a drunken bumble as he drags his heavy pollen sacks from floret to floret.
We grow a similar Euphorbia--but our is Blue Euphorbia or commonly called Gopher plant. They always look so wonderful in spring, then by summer, they are just awful. Do yours last all summer? Happy GTS, Aiyana
Our rhubarb is still under a lot of snow. Gene & Steve went up north Wed. & couldn't drive in yet. He's getting to old to walk in that deep snow. Got up in the 50's today so lot of water running. Catch you later. HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY! The GodMother
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.

Great pictures. Isn't it exciting to see things sprouting? I was so happy to see my garlic sprouting, and the bulbs in my perennial garden.

Don't you just love the crinkly little new born rhubarb leaves?
