Today ushers in the beginning of our trimester break called “Reading Week.” It’s intended to be a break in class to give students a chance to get caught up on reading for upcoming projects. Some use it as a vacation break. Either way, it’s a nice opportunity to come up for air after a very intense beginning to the year. It’s been overwhelming thus far, for all of us. So, when class ended yesterday, we all headed to the beach to build a bonfire… in the rain… and celebrate the fact we’ve made it this far and are still alive to talk about it.
I love fall… I’d forgotten just how much I love fall. Having not lived in a colder climate for over 10 years, I’d forgotten the beautiful atmosphere of fall. The smell of autumn, falling leaves, changing colors, brisk mornings… amazing. I’m enjoying every minute of it. Though, it’s obvious I need to work on my collection of scarves, gloves and hats. Currently I have one pair of gloves and one scarf. I think I need a few more.
Today I was walking down the street admiring the beauty of the golden leaves collecting at the base of the trees. A few highlighting a more crimson version of the same. All beautiful. Once in awhile the wind would catch a few swirling them in the air. It made me smile. Did I mention I love fall?
