Seems after years of retirement, I'm into school right up to my eyeteeth. I'm not the only one. Bennet started preschool today and Emerson is now officially a kindergartener.
Today was a busy one. Teachers were either attending one meeting or the other or they were working in their rooms.
I spent most the day walking around the building, talking to each member of the staff and faculty, collecting ideas, lending a helping hand, and doing whatever needed my attention.
When I wasn't busy outside my office, I was answering correspondence on the new computer I was given. I use three computers either for personal use or at school. One is an Apple, another a Chromebook, and the laptop at school operates the Windows platform.
Put it this way, I'm multicomputeral.
Sargie had the day off and cleaned most of the garage. She was up to her elbows in soapy water when I pulled in the drive late this afternoon.
I worked for a bit around the pond before moving onto the garden and picking a few ripe tomatoes. I took most of them to Sue, our neighbor to the north. I had to shoo the deer out of her drive just to get through. Later, one almost walked up to my outstretched hand.
The rest of the evening was spent in the blueberry patch.
There are gallons of ripe berries. Unfortunately, Sargie and I only got about half of those picked.
The flowers are looking beautiful. They almost always are towards the end of the summer when the temperatures begin to drop and the days get shorter.

Sargie works at the eye clinic on Thursday. I'll be back to school making the final preparations for school next week. We're off Friday and of course, next Monday, Labor Day. After that, the school year begins in ernest.
It's time to climb those long, steep, stairs to bed. Sargie will be right behind me.
