The first day of school is always interesting as I drive through the neighborhood.

First corner I saw a third of fourth grader waiting for the bus. New clothes, new backpack, eagerly looking down the street!

Next corner, a middle schooler. Once again, new clothes, a knockout hair doo, and minimal school accessories.

Down the street a High school student. Old, holy jeans, "T-shirt, gym shoes (untied) and a backwards baseball cap.

At the curb by the little pond sat another middle schooler. Color coordinated head to toe (the only thing missing were the tags on the clothes). This young man had spent a lot of time this summer fishing at said spot. You could tell he was lamenting the end of his summer.

And finally at the only stop sign on my route, small groups congregating for their respective buses. This is where all the sets of twins usually are seen. However, yesterday I only saw one set of twins, albeit a new one.

Yep, summer is over!

I had a pretty good day at the farm. Finished the window dressing. By the time I left, the tractor I had been using had one flat. (Luckily on a front tire. Let's hope this is still true this morning). I am guessing it picked up a thorn while I was shredding.

I called Pepa needing a ride yesterday. When he arrived at the barn Little Scottye was with him. We moved a couple of pickups and got to visit a little. it was good to see him. He was headed back to Midland after attending a seminar in Austin.

Jason finished his spraying and moved to Wastella. It sure is different watching from the sideline. And much hotter! That little spray coupe cab has a good air conditioner! If things go well, we could be done spraying for a while, never mind a little spot spraying in wheat fallow.

Have a day!

FATHER, thank YOU for YOUR many blessings! I know YOU have a big one for us and are waiting for YOUR own time to reveal it! Thank YOU for the good reports on Rebecca and DMS's Dad. I continue to lift them up for YOUR miracles of healing! Thank YOU LORD for loving me!
