Back From Hibernation, Sort of....

It's been a while since I've posted. The project management class I took last semester was a bear. I have one class this term and I will be done with my project management certificate program and hope I can do more blogging this year. As a graduation present to myself I booked a ticket to London in May so I can go see the Chelsea Flower Show during its Centennial or as the English call it, its Centenary. Tickets to the flower show are going fast! I'm glad I didn't wait until the last minute to buy them.

During my holiday break from class, work was chaotic in what are usually the slow months, November and December. Something went wrong with a system upgrade and I had my first 50-email email chain. Instead of divesting my inbox of old and unwanted emails, more were added.

It was bitterly cold last week so I thought I would post some pictures of the lemon Maximilian sunflowers that bloomed in my garden last fall. They are so warm and cheery looking.

They're are water hogs so I might need to find a good home for them and my echinacea, too. Last year my water bill skyrocketed during the summer. I don't know if it was the vegetable garden or having plants that needed more irrigation.

Or if I watered more frequently because I had the watering on timer for the drip system. I might need to pull out the water wasters and find some drought tolerant ground covers.

The flowers remind me of the theme song to the show Sesame Street.

Sunny Day
Sweepin' the clouds away
On my way to where the air is sweet

Can you tell me how to get,
How to get to Sesame Street?


I hope it's warmer in your neck of the woods!
