Crickets
I love this quote from Charlotte’s Web. As fun as summer can be, there is a comfort in the return to routine the end of the season brings. Although back-to-school doesn’t feel like a sad time to me, it definitely signifies a profound change from the freedom of Summer.
My thanks to the crickets for letting us know that we’re headed into the steady drumbeat of Fall, even as we enjoy the dying embers of Summer.
