Right Where I Need to Be

Ahhh, life. I’m happy, busy, stressed, tired, loved and blessed… usually all at once. I am holding on to my reasons, my job, my blog, my dreams. I trust that I am exactly where I need to be.

Where I needed to be this past weekend was Lake Tweet. And the Waterford Fair. And, on Friday, saying goodbye to a cousin gone too soon.

Summer is ending. This weekend marks the back-to-school part of our annual happenings. I’m ready. It was a good summer, but I’m always happy to welcome fall. We still camp, we still have those rare days when we’re all in the house, bored with each other or ready to pull our hair out with the housework. Those things are part of my summer too, and part of my life. And I’ll still do these things, no matter the season.

Fall brings cooler temps, crisp air, the apple and leaves scents I love. The mums, the Octoberfest, Halloween, the celebration of the birth of my first babe, Thanksgiving. Yes. I will admit it, as if it isn’t already known: I’m in love with fall. With the feeling of promise that “back-to-school” brings and the anticipation of the winter holidays.

It will all be here soon enough. But tonight, let’s take another look at summer. All photos from Lake Tweet!

Stay tuned, as I’m scheming and planning for tomorrow night’s second annual “Back-to-School Feast” and hoping to pull off another sweet sendoff for the kiddos.

Now, I need to get where I need to be: in my bed with my hubby with all my chicks safely sleeping in our nest.
