Back to school they go...

The oldest heads back to school soon. I hate that. I like having him about.

But on a happy note, I'll be able to clear away some of the detritus of summer, which is satisfying. Fall has always felt like a fresh start to me.

detritus
noun
1. Loose fragments or grains that have been worn away from rock.
