We never really had a summer as we usually know it. The temperures have hardly gotten above 95 the entire summer. The news is saying this is a problem for the many crops here in the valley because they need the very warm weather for proper growth.
Hot weather or not, summer happened just the same. Our family had its busy weeks of outings and fun and we had a few weeks of sitting around blissfully and not doing much at all. We again this year had a homestay student from Japan. Our family enjoys and learns so much every time we do this.
And now it is back to homeschool for the younger kids and back to college for the older kids. I make every effort to count the days and “ Live purposefully and worthily and accurately” Ephesians 5:15. I try very hard to not let time fly by me and savor my time with the family. But when these big shifts happen, like the kids going back to to school, I do see time has clearly elasped, and just a little too quickly, inspite of my efforts.
