"Warm, Lazy Summer"

If it were August, wouldn't it be fun to get some inner tubes from the garage and go to the river and jump in, get on the tubes and take a couple of hours to go to the lake where a good friend is waiting in his car to take us back to the start and he would get his turn.  This is the Jordan River in Utah, and the lake is shallow and the river is WARM.  I guess I'll just paint it this year.

"Back to School Time"

I always enjoy the time of year when the leaves turn colours and you see the little kids dressed in their new school clothes getting dropped off by their parents.  I've been both the little kid, and the parent so that makes me an expert.  The world returns to order and the cosmos is as it should be.  Oh how we longed for September when we had a bunch of little guys, but the days go by quickly and we have photos and memories to get us through.
