About Me

My photo
I am a retired English teacher and department head, the mother of three grand mother of four, and have been married to the same man for 53 years, two years after we met at college. I taught in both middle and high schools as I really love teens and in-betweens. I was also a certified Lamaze instructor, and for a short time a volunteer chaplain at Howard County General Hospital. I am a two-time cancer survivor, ovarian (2003), and breast (2019) I was born in South Philadelphia and grew up in the 'burbs with great parents, in a bilingual household. I love soft pretzels and cheesesteaks, the Phillies, the Eagles, the Orioles, and sometimes the Ravens. I love being Mom, Aunt Kathy, Nona Kathy (Kath), and Teacher. I spend a lot of time in my gardens in the spring and summer, and in the winter I plan what I'm going to plant. I also am an avid reader, cook, photographer, lover of languages, music, and four-footed furries.

Garden Shots on the First Day I Can Comfortably Be Outside

 It’s been like living on Hell’s front porch in Maryland this month. (Did you know that during the Revolutionary War, French mercenaries were paid tropical pay when stationed in DC (which is carved out of VA and MD)?  For the last week the dew point and humidity have been very high…Sunday it was 80+%.  It was unbearable.

Today, however, we have a slight reprieve and I’m able to enjoy our gardens without passing out.
