Ah, summer...
Here I sit on a Monday morning, reading various blogs, listening to On Broadway on XM Radio. I have a list of things to accomplish, but there is no particular hurry because it's officially SUMMER!!
The last day of school was a week ago last Friday. And as soon as possible, we packed up the car, the dog and ourselves and hightailed it up to the boat. Hence my non-posty-ness last week. There should be Off the Back of the Boat photos, but we keep forgetting the damn camera. This weekend, I promise.
I love these early days of summer holidays. The summer still seems to stretch out ahead of me, with plans and projects yet to experience and accomplish. It reminds me of being a kid, when time slowed down to a crawl and summer lasted forever. Now, of course, time moves much more quickly and I realize that before I know it I will wonder where the summer has gone. But today, September seems a mile away.
Today, I have a house to myself and nobody to tell me what I should do. So many choices: reading, writing, chatting, crafting, cooking. Or maybe doing lots of nothing at all. Time well spent, indeed.

As a former teacher and perpetual student, I love how you described that rhythm!
Here's hoping you have time to post a few "back of the boat" photos this summer. You know the game "If I Had a Million Dollars"? Assuming I had no debt, the first thing I'd buy is a boat. I've been out on the water maybe 15 times in my life, but they were the most freeing, exhilarating experiences of my life. (Second thing: build a guest house for the carnie who is on call 24 hours a day to operate the Tilt-A-Whirl on my property at my whim.) I LOVE your boat photos.
