I've never been as mournful of summer's end as I was this year. I'm not sure if it's because I spent much of it preparing for the professional development I led or if it's because I have a baby, but Labor Day was not a happy transition day for me this year.<br />SASAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-35303040110685137802011-09-13T08:44:27.399-06:002011-09-13T08:44:27.399-06:00Beautiful post.

Those golden leaves come and go way too fast and then we have months and month of very bare trees, but not yet, not yet. <br />Here it's sunshine and I'm on my way out to enjoy it,<br />Have a great day and a great year,<br />BonnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
