the fading of summer...

I know that the calendar still reads early August, but my chestnut tree speaks differently. Ole Chester started losing most of his leaves last week and providing for a crunchy walk. Every season is wonderful, but I hold something special in my heart for Autumn.

I guess this means that days of books, papers, and extra work are near. Summer was fun and I slacked in most areas of art, except for a week of bookmaking at the Reserve. That does not mean that I did not think of art. My mind is always flooded with images and ideas as I am drifting off at night. If only I could capture those images as Dali did.

No big vacations this summer, as we traveled to Arizona in the spring. I did accompany the kids to a Brewer game with the summer rec group. It was full of fun and laughs. The boys wrote all over themselves with sharpies.

I am sad for summer to end, but am excited to be reunited with friends.

Back to Reality (Sadly enough)

Wow, a month and a half shot in the behind! Where did it go? Well, I can't wait to get back and hear what everyone has been up to over the break! I did a few things that included family get togethers here and there, indoor waterparks, talking to Delilah (she thinks I'm nuts, by the way), not so fun housework stuff, and oh, did I mention a trip to Lambeau this past Sunday?!

-26* Windchill is not so bad for 5 hours, especially when you are packed in with 72,000 other people. Besides, it was my first trip to Lambeau and my first Packer game, I didn't care that it was like the Arctic and in the end, I'm not too sad about their loss. It was an awesome experience.

I am wondering what BPJ is cooking up for this semester and I can't wait to see everyone!
