One of my favorite qutoes, William Carlos Williams.
The iconic symbol of winter's end.
This summer has been a whirlwind. In the last eight weeks we have had: three beach trips, four mountain trips (two of which were camping trips), three weeks of camp, one major Strawberry Fest, one wedding and the children have advanced a full belt in Tae Kwon Do.
Our garden is growing beautifully: so far one squash, six cucumbers, four zucchinis, three better boy tomatoes and hundreds of baby tomatoes. We’ve also gotten a bowl full of wild blackberries from bushes that were hiding behind the latest pine to succumb to the enthusiastic chainsaws of Matt and Andrew. We have another giant squash, a pumpkin, peppers, tomatillos and more zucchinis, cucumbers and tomatoes on the way.
We have a little less than three whole weeks before school starts for us all on Tuesday, August 25th. I’ve finalized my schedule, paid tuition and purchased books. The children are registered for the fall soccer season and we’re interviewing for nannies next week. This weekend Andrew and I are off to celebrate our ninth (9!!) anniversary, then next weekend we’ll drive to Maryland to see all of the Felten clan and then back down to the outer banks to see all of the Arnold clan. Three major trips in less than three weeks.
I do not want to see summer end. There are still things I want to do!
