Over 100 almost every day, and Tropical Storm Edouard has not performed. Just a drizzle yesterday. We need some rain.

Aurora has begun school again and seems to having a good time. She gave her teacher a big hug on the first day and is thrilled that now she has her own left-handed scissors at school. She has brought home some cool artworks. There is a shot of a little creature she's been drawing at home. She says it's a tadpole (with eyelashes!).

There's also a shot of little Laurel with neighborhood buddy Grover (whose mama grew up in this house!).
