Shadows and Crickets

     Chirp, chirp, chirp.  It is that time of year, late August.  The crickets are chirping until about 1 pm and the shadows created by the sun are long and beautiful.   A few orange tinted leaves are beginning to fall to the grass.  The days are getting shorter.  The evenings can have a chill.  These are all signs that summer is coming to an end and the beautiful season of fall will begin.
     We are so blessed to be living in a part of the country that has four distinct seasons.  Each season has smells, sounds and sights that make each short three month season seem so special.  When I hear crickets until the afternoon and see the long shadows I can only think of Fall and the beginning of the school year at The Preschool Experience.  Soon I will be singing "Gray Squirrel Swish Your Bushy Tail " and "The Leaves Come Falling Down" each and every day with Miss Barbara, Miss Connie, Miss Mary and Miss Sharon.  I am so thankful for this time of year !
