First day of a new school year. Our class is the same and still not the same. Almost everyone seems to have grown at least 5 cm since spring and some of the boys have much darker voices. The girls appear more poised, more grown up than last year – looking at their school pictures from Grade 7 I can hardly recognize them!
I’m still hobbling around, so for now I’ll have to resort to posting “old” pictures. The trees are beginning to turn different hues of yellow and red – and I fully intend to be out there taking pictures come the weekend!
Wow–the trees are turning already. I don’t think I’m ready for that.

I’ve seen a bit of yellowing in the trees here as well, but I am not ready to say goodbye to summer! We don’t start back to school until September 8th. Perhaps I’ll be ready then? Nah.
My 13yo has outgrown all of his T-shirts and his shorts, for the 2nd time since the warm weather came to stay! Right now I am very grateful for “hand-me-down” clothes.
PS: I see you managed to sneak in a bit of fall coloring with your subject matter, even if it isn’t the leaves.
