And . . .
I actually remembered my camera on a Monday.

Today was the second wave of school beginnings. There were more kids at the bus stops and there seemed to be less manic drivers. This was the start of the St. Louis Public School Year. Last week it was a number of the private schools that opened.
There is one very big plus about the school year beginning. I get to see which of the kids will develop a "waving" relationship with me. Every year there are some who do, and there are some parents who do as well.

- 85F/29C with a few clouds for the home ride.
School has not started here yet. It lets out late, starts late. Something to do with tourism.
ReplyDeleteMy part of town, east, sits lower than other parts of Madison and it takes awhile for the sun to climb over the far hill. I'll be getting up earlier now and it will be very dim indeed.
School always started after Labor Day when I was growing up, but it had to do with farming. Now, I doubt it matters.
DeleteIt is nice that the schools start in stages. Here is Oregon they all pretty much start right after Labor Day.
ReplyDeleteI too have noticed the sun being a little lower in the mornings. Sure is bright driving to work.
Yep, right after Labor Day was the way it was when I was younger, but there are a couple of districts here that are year around.
DeleteThe shadows are lengthening, too.
