The weather is definitely shifting into fall. Leaves are turning, a fire is welcome in my fireplace at night, and I enjoy “hunkering down” with a cup of tea and a book. The tomatoes are still coming on, but we’ve gathered in our potatoes, onions and garlic. And the sunlight has shifted to a beautiful golden glow, a glow I associate with harvest and fall.
Storytelling for Back to School
Someplace deep within me, I carry every story I have ever heard, every story I have ever lived, every story I will ever need. – Katrina Kenison, Mitten Strings for God
Summertime Faith
“Summer, summer, summer. I loved and hated summer. Summers had a logic all their own, and they always brought something out in me. Summer was supposed to be about freedom and youth and no school and possibilities and adventure and exploration. Summer was a book of hope. That’s why I loved and hated summers. Because they made me want to believe.” Benjamin Alire Saenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
