We are almost to the end of the 7th week of remote school! Next week is fall break, which we are all really looking forward to -- it will be so nice to sleep in and not have to monitor 2nd grade and do some relaxed reading. For the last two years we've gone to Portland as a family for this break, and my kids are sad we aren't going -- especially my daughter, since her birthday happens during this time and there's a lot of things we do to celebrate -- but she's making the best of it, as we all are, and we've talked about all the travelling we'll do together once the pandemic is over and we won't be risking ourselves or anyone else by going places. In the meanwhile there are some family movie plans (Return of the Jedi, Labyrinth, maybe The Princess Bride) and some Minecraft time together scheduled and a lot of special meals on the agenda, and possibly a beach trip if the air quality holds up.
I am still reading when I can, and watching The Untamed with my spouse during our regular Saturday date, and obsessing over Homestuck (which I do not think I mentioned here before, a little surprising since it is a large thing in my internal landscape!) and listening to music and trying to get enough sleep. We are starting to get fall fruit in our CSA box and I have eaten some apples and drunk some hard cider and plan to revel in autumn by ordering more hard cider and starting to think about braised dishes instead of salads. It is about to be hot here again, but we have had a few cool mornings that smell like fall, so as always I am crossing my fingers that the second period of heat will be short and dissolve into cool breezes and changing leaves and badly needed rain soon. (A few leaves have already changed, very very unusual for September here, but I saw orange and yellow at the top of the trees when I was driving by the lake yesterday.)
How are all of you?
