The notifications are posted regarding the starting day(s) of school - just read the listing at the Eddington Elementary School - and those yucky hot days seemed to have passed. The last week here - and the one forecasted to come - seem to be the Perfect Weather. While the TV weather people say the state needs rain, this weather seems perfect to many of us. Even if we have to water the lawn and gardens.
My neighbor seems to be hosting a mass family get-together. I've counted at least five igloo-style tents and one smaller one staked out on his front and back lawns. And there are plenty of well-behaved young children playing and acting like cousins. They launched two green canoes early this morning and took a "stroll." Can't get much better.
Around here it's been pretty exciting, too. Yesterday I received notification of being awarded the single scholarship for a Writers Retreat a few months from now. The award was based, I'm told, of the writing sample I submitted with the application. It's the first chapter in the novel currently undergoing a serious edit. Maybe all these hours here in the office are adding up to something...
