And August, already. We had a cooler July than normal, but August has been a sauna. When I was a child, we went back to school the last Wednesday in August and then had Labor Day off. About this time in August, I’d start getting excited about the new school year. Even in college. I loved starting the new term. And I lived in the middle of nowhere, so didn’t get to see my friends except in school. (I knew there was a reason that “School of the Air” thing in Australian romances appealed !)
The children in our county went back to school this past Monday. I know they have more vacation during the year than we did, and that’s a good thing. (Those months between January and June–seemed as if they stretched into three or four years–especially in high school.) But I wonder what the children would choose now if they had a choice. More of those lovely summer days, or more days off during the school year”
Well, enough musing. 🙂 The house is quiet. Girl’s at work. Beloved, busy with his buddies today. I can actually work at home. Wonder why it’s so easy to work with the distraction of a coffee shop, but so difficult with the distraction of two people I love, roaming and “observing.” (You wonder what observing means? They always have something to say and a desperate need to say it. Right now–or even better–ten minutes ago, because another observation will arise!)
