Hello, August! It looks like you will be a very busy month for me! Road trip for the first two weeks, then anniversaries and appointments. And then there’s that wonderful feeling of freedom that arrives mid-month when I once again realize that I don’t have to set up my classroom, begin the planning and preparation for another school year. I’m retired! Reading on the porch, watering the garden, picking cherry tomatoes.  August, you are a lovely feeling, really.
