We've had an extraordinarily warm, sunny summer as well. However, back east they've enjoyed one week of sun and damp chilly weather the rest of the time. Yikes. I wish you well with your return to teaching. Ours are striking here so no school for any kids at all. It's a different ending to summer!Kelly L McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649279572727703824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354342260221424050.post-87378593658717057602014-09-06T13:28:30.413-07:002014-09-06T13:28:30.413-07:00Yeah, I agree that we have to have change or we...Yeah, I agree that we have to have change or we'd lose the appreciation.

I've always been a summer freak, but was a bit quiet about it because ALL the other parents would say stuff like "thank god school is starting again". I totally get why you, as a teacher, might have ambivalent feelings about going back to work. But so many parents get tired of summer, and I never did. So hooray for the Summer People on FTSF (apparently there are a lot of us!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354342260221424050.post-89922434112623701732014-09-05T12:54:21.438-07:002014-09-05T12:54:21.438-07:00I love how you describe your summer in Oregon.

He got a terrible sunburn too, but that's because the kid refuses to put on any sunscreen - ahhh! But, I'd love to visit your part of the country because yes, despite the rain and yucky parts of the year, you are surrounded by such beauty too!

Here's to painted toenails, patio furniture, the lake, lemonade, sleeping late, windows being open to summer breezes late at night, and to mental health!
