I can totally relate. I will be developing a couple of new classes for the local community college this summer when I return from Europe and can hardly wait. They will be French language classes for adults, as always, and they will be filled with cultural tips. I do enjoy teaching groups of students, and tutoring is not quite the same for me.

It was labeled as a ground cover for full sun, but I found out via Google that it doesn't like heat. So maybe the label should have said partial sun!<br /><br />I mostly get stressed by teaching--which is why I'm happy to leave it as a side job. But thanks for reminding me that I do actually love it. It's just the outside-of-class stuff that bugs me. :)Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081652747471904560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481203733160854169.post-76075372338757359542013-04-10T19:36:06.825-04:002013-04-10T19:36:06.825-04:00Sounds like you believe it now!Sounds like you believe it now!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09081652747471904560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481203733160854169.post-28533052359405121822013-04-10T19:35:55.873-04:002013-04-10T19:35:55.873-04:00I've mowed three times already this spring.

...I love those little blue flowers - what are they?<br /><br />Your post threw me for a loop because I realized after reading it I was (for the first time since I bought the farm and quit) missing teaching! I still tutor, for cash flow and because I enjoy it, but there's nothing like the excitement of starting a new course with a new group of students. I'm glad you're reaping the rewards of all your hard work in the past - have fun!Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04500606532723836054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481203733160854169.post-19308894915432754242013-04-10T11:26:29.366-04:002013-04-10T11:26:29.366-04:00Spring is almost here too.......just a whisper awa...Spring is almost here too.......just a whisper away!XJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481203733160854169.post-13672552963446268942013-04-09T23:45:29.319-04:002013-04-09T23:45:29.319-04:00And, I had to do some shoveling today....And, I had to do some shoveling today....Katouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08683259019086525332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4481203733160854169.post-48717616201130041022013-04-09T22:07:22.833-04:002013-04-09T22:07:22.833-04:00Oh Alison, you're killin' me!
