Pencils, They are Like…Mechanical

I am quite happy this morning. Perhaps it had something to do with crashing in the spare room at 8:00 pm, perhaps it had something to do with *just the right amount* of gorgeous wine, perhaps it had to do with the perfectly warm but not at all too hot weather, or perhaps the fabulous company. Perhaps.

Sleeping at 8:00 pm leads to waking up at 5:30 am and that - wow - how long has it been since I’ve seen the sunrise? The early morning chill, as the crows in the tree across the street in *that tree* make their morning noise. They have lived their for nearly fifty years. The crows, I don’t know about the neighbors. Crows. Who knew?

Abundant sleep also puts one in a rather chipper mood. This should not be news to the mother of a four year old who is perpetually tired…

I do love September - crispy mornings, warm coffee as a necessity, crisp leaves, the smell of the school cafeteria, sweaters!

Next year I get to bundle Ruby up for Kindergarten, this year Hayley starts High School…I can love September for a very long time…

But when was the Dixon Ticonderoga No. 2 replaced by boxes of 50 glittery mechanical pencils from Target? Probably about the same time the Dixon Ticonderoga No. 2 pencil acquired a website… Sigh.
