Here in New England, summer seems to have passed us by! June started out with a heatwave, several days over 100 deg F, but we haven't seen any heat like that since. In fact, We've already had nearly three times as much rain in August as normal! It seems even the days that start out sunny end up with thunderstorms in the evening or overnight. The good news is that we haven't had to water the tomatoes in weeks... the bad news is, they're drowning! We've harvested a few, but the droopy plants are not producing the bountiful harvest we saw this time last year... something about photosynthesis requiring sun I suspect.
The sun has come out the past few days, but it's heat is gone. It's that back-to-school kind of sunny day - you know, you're going to wear shorts as long as you can, even if you need to put a wool sweater on too!
September always seems like a new year, even when very few in my day to day life are heading back to class... this year, back-to-school (ok, daycare!) came early. Nearly two weeks in and we're getting into a groove... Norah seems fine, I'm learning to go with the flow, and I even show up for work on time now and again! I'm not Supermom every day - just Norah's Mom, and that's just fine!
