"Too much too soon"

This is what I heard recently from Karen, and I agree. Every day I marvel at Jim's handiwork, above. These days have been entirely too hot and humid and then overflowing with outings with friends and family and packing and sorting and planning and waking up feeling like a poached egg. Not much else to report. Tomorrow, I am off to Boston for a week and Vermont for another week. I've decided to take the 24 hours in between VT and upstate NY to switch out supplies and clothes, and spend one night in my own bed, to break up the three straight weeks of teaching.

Little things! Rolling them around in my hand keeps me sane.
