A change

Our lazy days of summer are gone, the kids are back to school and our schedule has become hectic and rushed. Up at 6AM not stopping until after dinnertime. Lots of errands to do and places to be.

It reminds me of the butterflies out in my garden, full of activity. Getting ready for the change in season. I don't remember anytime when we have had so many kinds of butterflies on Spruce Hill. Maybe I just did't notice them.

The girls have settled down into their routine and I am actually relieved to have it. Miss H starts school tomorrow, her Junior year in high school. Today she got her driving permit, which totally blows my mind.  How my little girl could have grown up so fast? It seems just yesterday that she was holding onto my hand on her way to kindergarten.

You do manage to take the loveliest insect shots-love these, with the fall colours-my kids don't start until early september-when I will breathe a sigh of relief, even if it means rushing around and more of a routine-enjoy your autumn!

Yay school!!! I'm so excited that H. got her permit!!! I'll stay off the road.

What beautiful pictures! And how scary your daughter is driving, I look back to when I was that age and think that there is no way I should have been allowed on the road!

Those butterfly photos take my breath away. Beautiful.

Great pics! I don't have kids, but I have young siblings. My kid sister just turned 15 and like to remind me how much older I am than her. The little brat. Sigh. They're just growing up way too fast.
