Our Herb Garden

Remember our garden we started a few years back. We were hoping that side of the house would get enough sun for tomatoes, but it hasn't worked as well as I had hoped. The yellow grape tomatoes came back last summer, but it's a hard space for the tomatoes. They need a lot of sun! So this space has turned into a herb garden. Right now, the rosemary, sage & oregano are loving life. They all survived the winter months & look great. I transplanted the herb pot that I started inside a few weeks back. So I'm really hoping for the addition of basil, cilantro & parsley so take root. The only other herb that I would like to add this spring is dill. Who doesn't love a little dill in their salad! Take a look.

No High School Math Mandatory..

A friend posted this on facebook yesterday & after you watch it, you'll see why it struck home with me. Especially if you read my "16 yo letter" to myself & have a child who is beginning to get frustrated with math..mainly because it seems to be the majority of his homework. Math can definitely be a four-lettered around here. I remember the year..7th grade when I got that math teacher who had no patience for my math inablilities. Pre-algebra in Ms. Evans class, began the "math anxiety" for me. I would love to see "brain games" incorporated into all the grade levels math lessons. John Bennett for class president!
