Melting Basket 152: Summer's End

It has been so long since my last basket pot (May!!!) that I am just going to list what I stuck in this most recent one. I have emptied two or so baskets since then... meaning to post about them, however, it has been a strange summer.

If you are curious about how any of these melt just let me know and I will review them.

Normally summer is my time to catch up on the blog, go on adventures with the girls and lay back and relax. This summer didn't quite pan out like that given our current worries and realities. I did strive to spend time out in the yard or with my nose in a book.

The girls and I did go on a few trails, found a new coffee shop or two and watched tons of TV recklessly.

I worried about coming back to school. What that would look like for my students, my own kids and myself. I spent the last week prepping with my two co-workers for our first two virtual weeks (that start Monday) and then the transition into the building on the 24th. Out of the 4 upper elementary classes we are the only class going back into brick and mortar. The rest will be online. I will get to teach my own daughter for the first time ever. That will be an adventure. :-)

I hope if you and yours are headed off into this fraught school year that you all will be protected and safe, healthy and whole.

I think I will bring out the fall decorations this weekend to bring some cheer in the house. And maybe even bake an apple crisp.

What are your plans for the weekend?
