Back to School

{My mom made this darling cake for a back2school party she had for all the little neighborhood girls. Isn't it darling?} Today, August 15, 2007, is the first day of school for Washington County School District. How delightful. The day's weather is acquiescent of what a first day of school should be. Even the sunny, cumulonimbus cloud-filled skies seemed to succumb to school teachers and bus drivers everywhere. On my day off, I went for a morning drive for the sake of slowing down in the school zones. My eyes beheld tiny children with over sized, action-hero backpacks, kissing their mothers goodbye at the crosswalk while younger brothers and sisters watched less than resentfully, for the day when they would be permitted to cross the street could never be soon enough. A challenge for today{or whenever your first day is}: Take a drive around 2:30 or 3:00 to watch the newly transformed youth of summer arrive home after being nourished all the day long.
