For most of you there are a few more weeks of summer.
For me though,
it's come to an end.
As a school secretary, I've had a few weeks off for summer break.
I had a list of things I wanted to do.
Most of it is checked off...
of course there's a few things I didn't get to.
Such is life.
I am returning to school today to open up
and begin a new year.
New school year = New beginning.
Everyone starts with a clean slate.
I've enjoyed having time to post almost every day...
but I'll be going back to my normal 3 or 4 times a week.
I read in this issue of Easy Decorating magazine
that if you Google "Home Design Blog" (which I'm not really)
over a million results come up.
With all those great blogs out there
I am honored that you are visiting mine.
I'll be around...
just not as often.
Thanks for stopping by...

My parents were both school teachers and it was so fun for all of us to be together all summer.
hope it is a great school year, but where did the summer go??
Have a great week back at work.
I have enjoyed getting to know you this summer,, I find it hard to believe summer is coming to an end,, best wishes on your return to work!
Enjoy your first week back Ann. I would love your job. I have always wanted to work in the school system that way I would have the same schedule as my boys. Instead, I volunteer my time, which is a great thing too for the teachers.
As a retired educator I know what you mean about new beginnings! Have a great school year!
Beautiful pictures! Have a great day back to school!
Enjoy your new school year. I love the sunflower piece in your garden!
I love your blog and always click on to see what your up to! Have a wonderful new year at school♥
Back to work for you, hm? Well, your photos are gorgeous. Love that sunflower perched in your garden. I have that same two-colored zinnia. But most of mine are affected by the heat right now. I'll always be here to read your blog, despite the hordes of others!

Hi Ann, I'm sorry to hear your summer vacation has come to an end. I'll miss seeing you here as much as you have been. But, life and work goes on. I hope it is a wonderful school year and I'm sure being the secretary there is so much to do before the students return. Your flowers are beautiful and I love that large sunflower stake! Have a wonderful week. Blessings, Pamela
My first job was a school secretary! I did it for 3 years and then moved on to other things.
Enjoy your first week back.

Well, Ann, it's not about the number of posts, it's about what there is to read, look at and ponder on. Your posts fit the bill.
I, too, am so sad to see summer come to an end - I don't head back until August 29th though. On the upside, I love the start of a new school year - always such promise and as you said, a clean slate. Good luck this school year! I don't know when your teacher's convention is, but mine is in October, so I always look forward to that first 4 day weekend! Hugs!
This summer has been tough. It has been so hot it is hard to even walk the dog. My yard and house repairs have suffered. Maybe we will get a nice long fall. Richard at My Old Historic House.
Wow, your flowers have done so well. Our back yard looks like a barren slope now. We need rain so badly. We do have a watering system for our new shrubs and trees that we had to replace twice after a year. Poor landscape guy! We paid for the first replacement, but he paid for the second. I am just hoping that we start getting cooler weather soon.

Ann, Your garden is looking beautiful. Great photos and so much excitement with the new school year starting. I read your comment about new beginnings and everyone starting with a clean slate. I had to smile because I'm actually old enough to know what a slate is, but not old enough to have used one in school. :)
Hugs and have a great day and a wonderful school year.

I, too, have to go back to school soon, 1 more week! I know how you feel. I think my blog suffers when I go back, but I just keep trying. Have a good year!
Best wishes to a wonderful new school year Ann! I have always loved the school secretary at every school my boys have attended and I am sure you are no different. Thank you for watching after those kiddos.
Have another really good years, Ann.
My dil is a secretary at a large urban high school for Native kids. She loves her job, I'm sure you do too!
Hugs, Cindy

I'm dreading the day when I have to go back to work (school) too. It's been a beautiful summer. Have a nice week!
Love the new profile picture on the sidebar. Sorry you're back to work when it still seems so early but it sounds like you're okay with it. Happy Summer.
Hope you have a great first week back!! blessings ~ tanna
Hi Ann,
I finally was able to post about the give away. Hop on over to my blog when you have a chance. Wishing you a wonderfully blessed school year. Love the flowers - so beautiful!

I was a school secretary for 8 years - now I work in law enforcement. Not a big difference! Best of luck for a happy and memorable school year. I enjoy your blog!
Ann, Your garden is wonderful! Enjoy the new school year. I received the print from Barbara and it is adorable. Thank you again!

My kiddos leave today and they start school pretty soon,so I guess Summer is coming to a close. WE have had such a cool summer this year, the temps have been perfect so it is more like Spring here. Loved your observation about the design blogs. Wow that is amazing that any of us have followers and readers out in blogland with those statistics, amazing. I am so glad to have found your blog Ann!! Always a pleasure to visit here!!

I've been thinking about you having to start back to school so early. Your teachers must start earlier than ours, or you are on a strict 10 or 11 month calendar. As I mentioned to you, I'm a retired teacher, so I know how fast summers go when school is waiting for you in the fall. But it's also such an exciting time of new beginnings. Have a great school year.
Blessings on you, Ann, as you head back to school. . . and make a difference in the life of all those kids.
Fondly,
Glenda
I just stumbled onto your beautiful blog, through "Other Peoples art work" blog. Your arrangement is perfect and looks beautiful. I also Keeping jasmine flower with full of water in yard.
In last photograph, you shared a new flower. First time I seen this flower in my blog tour. I will add it in my plantation list.
