It’s hard to believe that it’s already Labor Day Weekend here in the States, and the kids will be starting school soon. I hate to see summer end, but at least this year I feel like we’ve had a relatively satisfying season. I’m even looking forward to that familiar fresh September start a tiny bit. So, that’s good. It’s never fun when I have to be dragged out of summer kicking and screaming…

OMGosh – that’s a *real* dragonfly! I thought for sure it was going to be some beautiful polymer clay creation that I would drool over because I can’t quite create anything that stunning yet. And it’s real! I just love mother nature.
