Good Monday Morning, My People!
Today's delivery includes flowers that go from Mild to Wild.
Is that indicative of the week ahead for you?
I want to wish HOB a Happy 29th Wedding Anniversary.
Glad we took the leap all those years ago!
Blogging Buddies: I will be returning to work today and have decided to make blogs mandatory in two of my upper level classes. This means I shall be launching 60...yes, you read that right, 60 new bloggers into the blogosphere and trying to keep track of all of them! Wish me luck and please understand if I don't get by your blogs as often as I normally do.
The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.

60 new blogs to visit??? Good luck with that! :)
Lovely flowers, a perfect Monday morning pick-me-up!
Those orange ones are my favoritey fave!
Awesome idea about the blog requirement. Consider posting a list of them and I am sure your followers will check them out (or at least I will).
We have 10 days left of summer vacation. I am torn between letting them live it up or reeling them in so the school year can begin on a note of civility. (I am thinking finding my sanity begs me to do some reeling.)
Lovely flowers, as always.
Like the canna, I used to have lots of them but lost them to a flood.The 1st day can be the fun one to win a new group over.I am going camping all week,it's a rough life.Wondered what you were going to have them blog, anything?
Happy anniversary. :) Love the flowers. They brightened my day.

wow, mandatory blogging....my husband would die (not in a good way) ;-) lovely flowers!
Happy Anniversary!
Wow! That's a stroke of genius. Better than the journal I wrote in school. Can't wait to read 'em. Love the flowers.
LOVE the flowers you called wild.
What are they???
Congrats on the anniversary. We've celebrated 33 this summer.
You go, Betty. I am so proud of you.
BB and HOB Congratulations on 29 beautiful years and 2 handsome sons!!
60 blogs....oh my stars...I can hardly keep up with one. Good luck!!
Thanks for the beautiful Monday flowers.

Oh, I know some of your students will be inspired by this blog project. What a great idea! I'm sure you'll find lots of surprises along they way!!
PS
If your students poo poo the blog assignment...tell them if a 60 year old woman and a cat can do it they can do it TOO!
Madi and Mom MOL
Wow!!! So much going on today, B! Congrats on the anniversary (29!!! WOWZA!) and my best to you on the new school year!!! 60 new bloggers, huh? I'd love to check them out so perhaps you'll share their blogs with us?? Oh, dear, and that does mean back to work, huh? These students are pretty lucky to have you!!!! I want to take your class!!
Firstly, a very happy anniversary to Betty and HOB!
Love the flowers, especially the proteas in the last one :-)
Good luck for the new semester and with those 60 blogs...a great idea that will keep you very busy, but will no doubt uncover some great new bloggers!
GOOD MONDAY MORNING to you too ever so fabulous BB!!
Thank you for these gorgeous tame and wild flowers!! I just want my work week to go quickly so that it'll be the weekend soon! LOL!!
GOOD LUCK with your blog launches!! My goodness!!! That sounds so exciting and such fun!
Take care

You are the hippest professor I know!
I feel like, petunias aside, these are some "tropical-ish" flowers today. Wishing you were on an island somewhere?
Happy Anniversary!
Whoa!!! Bet, you're AWESOME!
I want a teacher as "cool" as you!!! I am jealous of those kids!
If my blog was mandatory I think I'd hate it. I'm just opposed to authority like that.
p.s. Happy Anniversary to HOB and you!
Happy Anniversary! And I LOVE the idea of teaching them how to blog...you will have to put their blog addresses up on the web for us to see them and comment to them...and if any of the students love photography, send them over to my blog, heck, they can even enter my free monthly photo contest..that would be great!
Happy Anniversary! Wow, 60 is a lot of Bossy Betty Blogging Buddies!
You are truly a brave person. I can't wait to keep updated on how things go with 60 blogs.
Beautiful flowers!
Have fun on the first day of school! Good luck with those new bloggers- how fun!
Happy Anniversary!
You teachers crowding the field with blogs! Are you going to check for spelling and grammar on 60 blogs? Aack!
I love the last two photos. On Saturday, I went to The Planting Fields Arboretum on Long Island. Those flowers remind me of the place.
Happy Anniversary!
Love the new photo header!
What? 60 NEW Blogs? Are you nucking futs?
Thanks for the flowers! Bee-u-tee-ful!
Happy Anniversary!!! I have to say I always gravitate to proteas, love the exotic look and feel. 60 more blogs? I need a nap :D
I think making the blogs mandantory is AWESOME! Good luck with keeping track of them all!
That is quite ambitious and commendable. Plus you still provided us with such lovely flowers.
I must say that I have a thing about Proteus...ever since my workplace has a reception and speaker on these beautiful flowers from South AFrica. Second...your students will enjoy blogging if they enjoy writing. Make sure that they are careful what they post.
wow. 60 new blogs...insane. ha.
the flowers are beautiful articularly that last picture...and hapy anniversary!
Happy Anniversary, lovely flowers and I hope you have a great first day back at school. The idea of the blog project is great...keep us posted on how it is going.
Good luck with all those newbies!!
60 new blogging addicts. Can you go to jail for that? Happy Anniversary and enjoy your first day at school.
Happy first day, happy anniversary, and happy blog launching, Betty! You are awesome.

60 new blogs? Sixty more people who will hopefully write in declarative and properly spelled sentences? More hope for the future of the English language!

What do you teach?
Happy Anniversary!! Hope you have a fabulous celebration.
60 new bloggers huh? Well, I wish you good luck on that one. That will be no easy task. But it sure is a great idea!!!
Hugs

Sounds like good reading to me! And I'm with Baby Sister in needing to know where you teach?
Happy, happy anniversary and best wishes for a great school year. It will be interesting to hear from you how the newbie bloggers are doing.

Happy Anniversary to you and HOB. You got married a year before I did (the first time around) Glad you were luckier than I was ...lol
60 new blogs, wow, sounds like fun though.
That sounds like a big project!
Good luck with that...
First of all Betty, every week, I look forward to your Monday flowers and those last ones? My oh My! Gorgeous!
And how wonderful, new bloggers! You are doing a profound thing, launching more writers into this blogosphere. Kudos!
Wow lady - you sure are busy!
Lovely flowers....and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!! xoxox
Sounds like a wonderful assignment! Hope many of them learn to truly enjoy! :) Good luck keeping up with it!
And Happy Anniversary!
"HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!"
Happy Anniversary!
Here there is no way you could do the blogging thing at school. The surf access denied would get you on each and every one. I should know, I've tried to check mine at work...
Happy Anniversary!
What a big project, BB!! 60 new blogs...Woowww!!
Happy anniversary to you and HOB!
love the red flowers...
nensa
Happy Anniversary, and many more!
Best of luck with the student blog project (60?! Egad!)
The flowers are stunning. Thank you.
Happy Anniversary!
I love your choices for Monday flowers, the last one is amazing.
That is a great idea, having to create and maintain a blog will be a great education. Good luck and have fun!
Happy first day of school!! I think mandatory blogging is a great idea. Thanks for the Monday flowers, wonderful as always...don't get much better.
I love the flowers! I wish you were one of my teachers! I would love if blogging was my homework!
Lovely flowers! And happy anniversary!
Happy Anniversary!!
Beautiful flowers.
Wow, 60! I hope you have many blogs to read that are thoughtful and warm like yours! These flowers are great!
Enjoy working!
Wow! You are amazing...with the 60 new bloggers! You go, girl!!
I all flowers, but especially have a thing for petunias....don't know why!! :)
Happy anniversary! We will have #30 this coming weekend. =)
Good luck with keeping up with 60 new blogs. If anyone can do it, it's you!
Your flowers are beautiful, as always.
Gorgeous flowers!! :D
Happy Anniversary and good luck with your blogger launching. (Sounds like it might be painful, like shooting them out of a cannon or something! HA HA HA!) :D
Happy Anniversary! I love the flowers! Thanks for sharing them with us! What a great idea about the blogging students!
