summer bits (and bobs)

september 1st.

big kids went back to school (so far so good).

i just filled in the family wall calendar (welp... so full).

leaves are falling...at least they are here (we have a LOT of trees).

days are shorter (chickens are broody and molting).

i have coffee decisions to make (hot or cold).

there is no denying it.

we are in a new season.

it's gonna be a good one.

but oh summer how this little family will miss you.
