Back to school

 


Cute hair cuts yesterday for Maya and Nova. School starts for them around Labor Day. It will be 5th grade for Maya and 9th for Nova this year. So officially a high school girl. Goodness. 

I was reading in bed with the window open last night and heard an unfamiliar sound. It was rain. Not nearly enough to water down the dusty yard, but what a pleasant sound and the garden perked up. I did some transplanting yesterday-- good timing there. 

Already a feel of the seasons changing. Might as well think positive: 

"Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall." -F. Scott Fitzgerald.

The air quality is excellent in Seattle (at the moment) and improving somewhat on the dry eastern side of the state. They also had some rain, never enough, but every bit helps with the wildfires. I'm planning to drive to Twisp tomorrow and maybe spend a long weekend. We haven't been to the house for over a month.
