Rain soothes my soul. : ) <br /><br />I just found your blog and I'm so enjoying it while sipping a hot cup of coffee on a crisp fall morning here in New York.

I drop balls still and my kids are mostly grown and flown now so what excuse do I have ... I'd rather dance than juggle though, that's how I look at it.Annie Cholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608057589525908147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693083781931131475.post-17431051032960941752015-09-18T00:11:38.217-07:002015-09-18T00:11:38.217-07:00it's so great for boo to know that, if she isn...it's so great for boo to know that, if she isn't happy at school, she can homeschool again... because in most of cases children must go to school even if they don't want to, and parents don't pay attention to their needs or just can't do other way (oh well, there're always different choices for them as parents...).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693083781931131475.post-55064065802848176732015-09-17T13:52:06.561-07:002015-09-17T13:52:06.561-07:00So thrilled it arrived safe Denise :) xxSo thrilled it arrived safe Denise :) xxShosannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848582110304798801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693083781931131475.post-60103296806405659142015-09-16T11:05:35.426-07:002015-09-16T11:05:35.426-07:00Increidible light, unique perspective in your imag...Increidible light, unique perspective in your images.

I am certainly one with you finding comfort and solace in the rain. It rained here these past few days and I could feel my entire being settling down after 2 weeks of end of the summer craziness.

I had friend issues at Boo's age and I think you did the right thing!!!!

Very perceptive - as we all have our own reality... and we participate to lesser or greater degrees in the shared fantasies / dreams / myths of "reality". As for dropping balls, well! For me it isn't a matter of will I or won't I, but will I know the right ones to drop?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693083781931131475.post-13207237525098152532015-09-14T12:52:07.634-07:002015-09-14T12:52:07.634-07:00Beautiful photos.

It is good she had the experience, and has now made the decision to return home. Enjoy your time with Emmy, never long enough, I know, but at least she is coming home on the weekends :)<br /><br />Wishing you a lovely week.Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/08476209107377395745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693083781931131475.post-54295043646090619862015-09-14T11:29:42.310-07:002015-09-14T11:29:42.310-07:00What a beautiful place!

We are all familiar with the dropping of balls - you need to just do what is important to you - the rest is all of little importance. We have had tremendous rainfall and thunderstorms here plus a few hailstones thrown in - Autumn is determined to make itself known it would seem. Have yourself a peaceful week doing things you enjoy.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693083781931131475.post-13684507027651280962015-09-14T06:54:58.572-07:002015-09-14T06:54:58.572-07:00Lovely, lovely photos.....

She seems the type who would thrive that way! As a shameless plug for home schooling here, I think it is a more natural way to make friends of all types and all ages...friendships seem to grow "organically" from the life you are leading as a family. That is how it has been for us. <br /> One of my sons and I are very much Pluviophiles, too. Someday we will all be recognized as a group. ; )Chere Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252460787695644955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693083781931131475.post-43441690885122162382015-09-14T05:09:00.189-07:002015-09-14T05:09:00.189-07:00I found myself nodding my head in understanding as...I found myself nodding my head in understanding as I read your words this morning. <br />It's so hard when our babies grow and move out, I am still not over it and I've done it<br />four times so far. I wish all of my children would live at home, I've offered, but with<br />a hug they decline. :)<br />I'm glad your Boo had the school experience, but as another soul who needs home I<br />understand her reasoning. Oh the friend thing, especially at her age is so hard and <br />you are right, no matter the age friends are important.<br />I too love a good rainy, quiet day, but not days on end so I am thrilled to see the sun.<br />I hope your week is filled with quiet beauty!Tracey ~ Cloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11575854515384481573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5693083781931131475.post-63123960141773300552015-09-14T04:03:34.689-07:002015-09-14T04:03:34.689-07:00nice pictures, looks like fun times.nice pictures, looks like fun times.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275456448997619944noreply@blogger.com
