The In-Between Season

One of my favorite seasons is tightly squeezed in between summer and fall. It’s the shortest season of the year. Back to School.

Ahhh…I can smell those pencil shavings now. 

My heart flips a little when I see the seasonal aisles near the front of the store filled with notebooks, folders, glue, and lunch boxes. 

I was one of those giddy little school girls who actually got excited for the school year to start. Our first day of school was always the day after Labor Day and the year ended in May. Three months of summer vacation. That was awesome. Even though I loved summer break, I couldn’t wait for school to begin. When I homeschooled my kids, even with all the planning, scheduling, placing orders for books and buying supplies, I was excited for school to start. Back to School was a great season as it led us into the next season, and my favorite…fall. 

Not sure how many people actually enjoy Back to School as much as I do. Perhaps it is just one of my many quirks. Oh, well…I gladly accept that!
