recent observations, week 8.

dispatches from the first day of school.

Tree pits filled with zinnias are a gift from August for September.

One tiny tomato cutting in an new spot might be just what’s needed.

Fresh haircuts change the way a body moves.

Bang trims on a park bench are a love language.

Crisp mornings help new beginnings.

There’s no such thing as waking up early enough.

It’s possible to feel vibrations from tiny trembling shoulders all day long.

In a pinch, a mom’s necklace is a powerful talisman.

Long shadows make even tiny kids seem big.

Thank goodness for September dinners while the sun sinks.

There’s still time for stone fruit.

There’s still time.
