Almost Summer

All signs are pointing towards summer:

• Bella and Clara have finished their school work for the year (whew!). Giles and Felix only have a little science left. I know some homeschooling moms teach year-round but I tell you what: that would not work for me!

•Clara found a patch of ripe dewberries, those sweet early-ripening blackberries;

•Daisy hasn't had on real clothes in days;

•The state has run out of money to pay my invoices here at the end of the fiscal year;

and finally, and most importantly,

•The Composer has OPENED THE POOL!!!
