But, I know they do grow here in my neck of the woods. I used to drive by a home that was completely surrounded in them. I always drove by very slowly so I could admire them. Well, your school year is coming to an end. I hope your students realize how fortunate they are. Enjoy your last few days.

I'm going to be going to the UK at the very beginning of July and I don't think I will have the time to give them the French experience that they deserve. I am sorry to be missing out on the fun, as it seems that everyone is enjoying having the Boys to stay, but all-in-all, I think it best if they went directly from Carolyn at Mess, Muddle and Fun to Floss. <br /><br />Is that OK?

I thought they must not like the Alabama heat and humidity.<br /><br />My school year (subbing/volunteering) is drawing to a close too. I helped in the kindergarten class for a few hours yesterday and then I ate lunch with them (terrible, terrible lunches that school serves!). I plan to go to the kindergarten closing program on Monday. I'll miss my weekly time with those little ones during the summer, but I still have Children's Church!<br /><br />I hope you have time to sqeeeeeze in a little pleasure for yourself.

I even had a pink one, but here at the Garden Spot I can't seem to get them started. I have the same list that you have, but my grading is done now, the students gone for the summer. Now I ponder, should I return in the fall. I'd rather like to work on my list, but then I love my work. What do you think? Ask the gnome or Joe. Perhaps they have wisdom. Have a great day.
