Back to School Countdown (is here)

We are in the midst of a spate of Wuthering Heights weather- where the sky is gray and foreboding and  the light outdoors fluctuates from dark to darker. The leaves swoosh in the wind and staying indoors seems infinitely attractive. Nature's latest turn renders us introspective, able to decipher lengthy paragraphs without needing to burst outside for fresh air. Now is the back to school countdown. In less than 48 hours my darlings Sarah and Jacob will be grumbling and socializing like mad. It's lovely to pause now, and appreciate our humble (and messy) home, our comforts, each other, and the fascination that future events hold. Wishing you similar happiness and excitement from our cloudy berth in Sleepy Hollow.
