August can be such a transitional month here. It began with a week-long heatwave, temperatures hovering around 100 degrees Fahrenheit and is ending with a cool front, highs in the 60s, and outside my window tinges of red are beginning to show around the edges of the leaves.
So August brought summer fun AND the return of school. It brought an unexpected quick trip to England and rising COVID-19 numbers. It brought the reminder that comes every August that teaching the kids is a full-time job for me, even though they can do a lot on their own. It's brought the reminder that investing in learning with my kids is good and fruitful work, and I love it. And so here we are entering the last quarter of 2020. K.J. shared this with me last week, and it made me laugh:
May we all learn good lessons and not act like spoiled children. 😀
