About

My name is Tammy and this is my blog.  I am 38, married, and we have one child.  I stay at home to raise him.  It worked for moms 40 years ago, so why can’t it work today.  I also homeschool our son, and I enjoy constantly learning with him.  Occasionally, I teach art to children and substitute teach. We live in the Piedmont of North Carolina.   

The picture above is a Carolina lily.  It is our state’s official wildflower.  Back in the spring, I had my son create a book of our state’s symbols and emblems.  We discovered the Carolina lily during the assignment, but I had never actually seen one.  One day, I was throwing some weeds into the woods behind our storage building, and there growing out of nowhere on the edge of the woods was a Carolina lily.  A rather unusual looking flower, it was all by itself among the dead leaves and thrown out weeds.

 

I sometimes think I’m like the Carolina lily in the picture.  Unusual but interesting, growing among dead leaves and weeds.  Slightly imperfect with some significance.
