Today marks the official beginning of my summer break. I took my final exam this morning and I am certifiably free from studying, testing, reading, cramming and all other forms of academic stress inducement. Those last few days in class held moments of daydreaming about crafts, projects, and outings with my kids, scrunched into the remaining few weeks of summer.
But for now, I'll relish the unhurried moments---- homemade pizza dough rising, acorns with scribbles, childrens' paper castles, pumpkins growing in the garden, and time with nothing to fill it...
