I've just got to share the good stuff I read.

I love to read. I read every chance I get. If I read something really good, I want to share it with my friends and co-workers. I make copies of magazine articles, read aloud to my students, tell others about good books I'm reading, and keep a book with me at all times.

I love teaching and learning new things. I need a place to share some of the lessons and what my students and I learn. Since my teaching situation is different from everyone else's in my school, I would like to tell all of you in the blog-o-sphere about these great lessons.

Feel free to share what you are reading, teaching and learning with us in the comments.

Peonies and stories about flowers


Martin put the cushions and cover on the swing.
Mischief is happy in her comfy place.
Sorry to inform her that I'm planning on spending time there reading.


The bearded iris are now blooming.
The mauve ones in the front are very prolific.


In the back there are small yellow iris, white iris buds, and amaryllis blooms.


We have been waiting on the peonies, watching their progress each day.


Martin got these from his mom's garden in Chattanooga.
They have bloomed in several places in our yards as we moved them with us.


He remembers his mom telling about her first peonies.
She was disturbed that ants were all over her peony buds.
So she put ant poison out to get rid of the ants.
Her peonies never opened.
She found out that peonies need ants to eat the covering on the buds for the flowers to bloom.


Sometimes we think we know best, when we really don't know the whole story.

I have read all my library books and the library is still closed.
Never fear I have some books that I bought that I haven't read.
Move over Mischief! I'm coming out to read.
