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.

Hellloooo Dolly!

Dolly Parton is very happy in her container and is proving it by blooming.  I only wish you all could smell this rose!  If you don't have it in your garden, get thee to a nursery!!  I promise you it will be well worth the trip.

Here are a few other shots of the 'early' garden.

Sunday we're all heading down to Virginia horse country to see youngest daughter.  It's supposed to rain, but we'll make do and have our picnic in good spirits.  Maybe the sun will even peek through for a bit.
