Today at home

::::  coffee, buttered toast with strawberry jam....early breakfast while the rest of the household is asleep

::::  after breakfast, I made a big batch of breakfast sandwiches to stock the freezer.  Sausage, Cheese, Egg and Jalapeno Peppers

::::  in between homeschooling, there's lots of relaxing on the couch with a good book

::::  mysterious 12 year olds who are in their own little world, not a child and not yet a woman.  The in between of possibilities, what if's and when I grow ups.

::::  in an attempt to usher in the Fall, the Fabric Pumpkins have been pulled out of storage

::::  they make me smile

:::: fixing dinner while sipping on a glass of wine

::::  unwinding from the day, feeling the stress melt away, sitting at the dinner table with the family, talking, laughing and welcoming the evening.
