It's not easy settling back in even though I have had a lot of practice!  My mind is a jumble, my home is a mess of summer and school paraphernalia, and there are lists upon lists upon list of things to accomplish. It takes at least the first two weeks of September to feel back home in my rightful place.  The sacks of apples and displays of assorted pumpkins at the grocery store helps.  Autumn is coming, and I can take a deep breath, find an easy rhythm, and enjoy what is unfolding before me.
