Teaching, connecting with a person and guiding them to new insights is rewarding, and has nearly nothing to do with the goals of public school. Congratulations on finding a new road.

But it was late in the season and they had some how contracted a parasite that wouldn't let them make cocoons. It was fun watching their development though.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571987715911379165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31214794.post-12993191195968817862012-03-30T14:31:05.557-05:002012-03-30T14:31:05.557-05:00It's ALIVE!!

I'm thinking about your grandsons coming to visit. Do they like to camp? The Smokies Nat. Park is close and there's the Smoky Mt. Railroad. Surely there's plenty to keep them from being bored. <br /> My grandmother was born and partly raised in Dahlonega, so the N. Ga. mountains have always been special to me.Kathryn Stripling Byerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867152753841610044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31214794.post-91931144334279805822012-03-26T02:38:07.050-05:002012-03-26T02:38:07.050-05:00What a gorgeously busy life... lovely to share.What a gorgeously busy life... lovely to share.Roslyn Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700960108357035957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31214794.post-46351419585268070552012-03-25T18:53:29.179-05:002012-03-25T18:53:29.179-05:00Could the cut have just been a squirrel tooth?

You see the pic of the 'front view'? I'd prefer that to be all flowers or flowering shrubs. It looks shady but it get a fair amount of afternoon sun. I don't know if I want to do a hedge of bushes along the road, maybe lilacs, or forsythia. I KNOW I want several peonies somewhere out there. I'm think I'm going to have to sit down and draw up a landscape plan with sunlight amts for each area and go from there. Potato's do well as a winter crop? Of course, with all the cost of moving and setting up I may not have ANYTHING til next year.
