Today's a different story...

I'm in a much better mood! Maybe because I got all my crap done yesterday (after wasting an entire day on Saturday) and got to see Sister and BIL. Maybe it's because I got to work at the crack of dawn today and got a lot done there too. Maybe it's because my students were pretty well behaved today and lessons went smoothly.

And maybe it's because I got the summer school position I applied for!!! So now I know I actually have a job through June. (Don't know anything about after that, but through June I'm good!) Yay!

I was in such a good mood when I got home today that I decided to take a page from Velvet Brick's book (a link to her blog is below - and I HIGHLY recommend you take a look) and take pictures of the oasis' backyard. Check out the new link under "Photo Gallery" to the right... I'm not the best photographer, and I never know what setting to use on the dang camera (hence the multiple pictures of stuff that are under and over exposed!); but Spring has sprung and the backyard looks great. (Except for the dog poop, but I tried not to get any of that in the pictures.) Here's a sneak preview:









That's Jeffrey and Bassett. My agaves. Named after BIL. Lol Enjoy the rest of the pictures!

Loved your garden pix. So why didn't I get a plant named after me?

You're too sweet, girlie!! I am happy to be of some inspiration to you! And so many CONGRATS on the summer school position...that is wonderful!! : ))) It sure puts a more positive light on things, does it not? I am very happy for you. Great pics and I must say... I don't think I've ever known anyone who named their plants...as for agave...mine are usually called Jose' (hehehe.... get it?)
