I know it's been a while. My daughter left me a sweet reminder in my email box that she kept checking my blog---but found nothing new. Guess I was just due for a little break. I'm going to try my best to continue my updates now, especially since I'm beginning a new (kinda new) chapter in my life. I made the decision to start teaching again in August. That means I'd better get myself in gear! Starting tomorrow I'll be working and planning on my new classroom in the afternoon. I'm still working at the law office until Thursday, but just in the mornings. In the afternoons, it's off to school. I officially check in on Friday the 7th. I'll take some pictures this week so I can document the "before" and "after". In the meantime, here are some pics of my front flowerbed.
