We have a three-day weekend holiday so I know I'll be a bit behind on things. Afterschool activities have begun. The days are still hot but the evenings are starting to show signs of cooling. Crickets are still going at night and while we still have light at 8 pm, I noticed that the kitchen needs light as a I do the dinner dishes. The last few years we have had flooding due to hurricanes. This year, no hurricanes have even been close to us, let alone much rain. The grassy areas that get full sun are turning brown.

Ok, my lists lately are ambitious. I'm discovering other things that need to be done that never made it to the list. I'll keep my lists going but I'm giving myself even more grace if it doesn't get done this round.
