Pumpkins and Pinwheels
With Click and Clack my usual weekend companions and the return of pumpkin to lattes and scones, it can only mean it’s time for Fall Hell (or Fall Swell if you’re not teaching) in the high school test prep business. I’ve been working an insane number of hours and an insane schedule: days up to 15 or 16 hours long and every evening from the middle of August until October 10th. One more week and then I can relax while high school seniors across the country pin their collegiate hopes and dreams on a 4 hour test that tests nothing of real importance. Ahem, I may be a little jaded (vocab word!).
It was looking a little unlikely I would get the block done this month until Nana came and kidnapped Gosling and Tweety. With Ken Burns’ fabulous new documentary in the backgeound and a grapefruit gimlet, I managed to eek it out tonight.

I don’t know how you manage it all…I can almost remember having two littles and trying to do….anything! With the return of sanity only a week away, how do you feel about helping a friend with a quilting project? I have an idea, which needs to be turned into a plan, then made a reality…you game? I’d supply tea, scones, chocolate, whatever, as needed.
