Ready, get set…
Posted on | August 16, 2007 |
In nineteen different places today, all at once. The sky is blue, but winds are roaring up our valley making the birch leaves show their silver underbellies. By my computer on the bar in the kitchen are a row of ripe peaches. Outside hawks are calling. It’s getting ready time: laminating folders and organizing books, every random hour spent at school in preparation for a new passel of kids. Also trying to find the right things to say to Bean so that he understands that our routine will be changing. We’ve had such a fun summer: taking rambling walks and playing on the back lawn. Here are some pictures from our walk yesterday evening.
Chicken coop in the evening light.
Goldenrod is waist high in the fields now.
Wild grapes, ripening.
I love ferns.
Jewel weed.
Autumn’s first red.

Is Jewel weed a kind of wild orchid? So pretty!
And I love the slug love!
And your boy? So big!

Gorgeous pictures. You found the yellow crocs! I’m pretty sure they were missing when we visited.
Good luck with the start of the new school year, we’ll be sending you good vibes!

LOVE your photos, they are beautiful! I start back on the 27th but no little ones at home anymore. Left my baby girl at college just yesterday. A different kind of baby blues for sure.
