As I wandered around the yard this afternoon, struggling to find something to photograph and lamenting the state of my garden after a week of heavy rain, I suddenly realized that my glass was actually half-full...almost!

La Rentrée -- "the reentry" -- I love this French expression for back-to-school. As much as I relish summer's languid pace, September makes me eager for change. As Jordan Baker told Daisy Buchanan, “Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.” (F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby). It's hot and humid today, but soon, we'll be enjoying cooler weather, cozy sweaters, fires in the fireplace, hot cider, football games, and the beautiful fall colors. School starts today, and even though I never really left this summer, I am ready for The Reentry. As I begin my 25th year in the Pewaukee School District, I am excited to discover what's on the horizon.
September 3, 2018 (246/365) Each year, right before the first day of school, I celebrate the sweetness of doing nothing -- one day to read, sip tea, watch movies, knit, nap, whatever I want. My BFF is happy to share the delicious idleness...and she's really good at it!
