I am so glad to be home. This is the first time since leaving for vacation with the kids mid-June that we've all be home together for a period that'll last for more than 4 days.
So, the suitcases are all put away and the laundry is done. I've booked 4 nights a week at the nursing home for this week and all of August.
Chop wood. Carry water. Go to work. Earn a paycheck doing the tasks I am hired to do. Simple.
I look forward to taking time in the next weeks to step back and review the events of the past 4-5 weeks and look ahead to decide what is important, what is sustainable; what needs to be recycled and what needs to be let go of altogether. This season in New England is ridiculously humid with thunder and lightening storms each night.
Ah . . . end of summer harvest and weeding. Such a bittersweet time all around.
