This is Labor Day weekend.. too bad we don't celebrate it as it was originally .. on a Tuesday. When I was growing up, we didn't start school in the fall until after Labor Day.. you could rely on that. Now, it seems like schools are starting in August to get a head start.. Is it really necessary?
I like the idea of home schooling.

It's rainy.. we had planned a picnic for this afternoon.. it may clear up before time.. and if not, well, we'll picnic in the rain!
I have had my morning exercise now.. Carlow slipped out the front door. He has a fascination with the chickens. Today he made a visit to the hen house... uninvited. The welcome left a lot to be desired. I saw him slip in the little exit door, and seconds later there was squawking .. and Carlow came back out the same way he went in.. looking a bit proud of himself. I followed him all over the place and finally caught up with him under the forsythia bush. UGH. Gotta carry a spray bottle with me when I go outside. That way I can get inside without him escaping again.
