Hello again!

My Mother's Day Gift is bursting with red geraniums! The hydrangea behind is also so very happy. Next year, I might give up my garden funds to fix the driveway. MAYBE! LOL! I don't even buy bark mulch for my gardens!!! Just spend money on flowers.




Isn't the color of this hydrangea beautiful? I have two different color blues and two different colors of purple. No pinks because we have too many pine trees.




Grew lettuce from seeds and when they grew enough, I stuck them in my gardens and in flower pots, everywhere! LOL!




These window boxes are new this year, too. Have been wanting boxes under these windows for years. The side of the house is so huge and the windows are so tiny, we really needed something to help out with all that 'siding'. The boxes add such color and interest.


I also have seeds growing for clematis, hibiscus (non-tropical species), and a clipping for a plant I found locally but do not know the name. Can't wait until they start growing.

It's Official

I am in the science program at Manchester Community College!!!! I can't believe I am back in college. Got my acceptance letter and just waiting for my old transcript credits to transfer.

I am so excited. Have been adding to the note cards and studying almost every day. Also found some online tests for medical terminology; did ok on two and did great on the third. Now I am hoping I can do well in the Law and Ethics, during the school year.

Trimming the Topiaries

Hello again!
Just finished trimming two of the topiary trees we have kicking around in the gardens.

If it doesn't rain today, I am going to trim another today!

Note Cards...

Hello again!
Here are all the note cards I'm studying for the Medical Assisting degree for which I am aiming! Classes don't start until this coming fall, but I am studying now to get a head start.

Thank you for stopping by. Please come again.

Last Day of School Was Yesterday

Well everyone.
My daughters' last day of school was yesterday (in NH, we had a lot of snow days, elongating the school year a bit).
. . . Goodbye weekdays of mine.
. . . Goodbye early night's sleep!
. . . Goodbye freedom!
. . . Hello "I'm bored" chants in stereo.

Next fall the girls AND I will all be going back to school (provided I can navigate through this admissions process). I plan on learning Medical Assisting.(The admissions process for me will be good practice for when my daughters apply to college).

Schedule will be hefty but because I already of a bachelors degree, a good portion of the courses this time around can be skipped. Still, it will be "fulltime".

To get ahead of next semester, I started studying for the Medical Terminology class (prefixes and suffixes). I know I haven't written note cards for even 1/2 the number of pref/suffixes but at least I will have a few under my belt (so far... over 460 cards). Learning the words by alphabet; OMG, there are A LOT OF Ps!!!!!!

Crossed-eyed, I have been studying the cards for a tick over 4 weeks. Have most of them studied. Once finally finished I'll go through them all again, all at once. It will be interesting to see the stats of which cards I remember and which ones I need to again write repeatedly to remember.

Wish me luck! I think I am going to need it.

Thanks for stopping by.
