Shifting Gears

We're still in August but there are definite signs fall is approaching. The temperature usually goes up in the 80s during the day but is often in the 50s in the mornings. The only things still in the garden are tomatoes and potatoes, and we plan to dig the potatoes this weekend. The neighboring farmer started filling silo this week and the fields next to us are bare and empty. I have started another round of my annual one-room-per-month housecleaning schedule by scrubbing the porch and outside of the patio. We had our traditional first-day-of-school pancake breakfast on Tuesday when Gerald went back to Alvernia College. I thought we ended an era when he graduated from high school, but after a pause he went back to school. This time I believe we really are ending an era. By spring he should be able to add BSN to his name and begin his career. This fall we are shifting gears in more than one way.
