I live in the Deep South and between the heat, the humidity, this year’s abnormally wet summer, the mosquitos, the ants, the mold and mildew, I am SO ready for fall to be here…
Many years ago, with me I forgot all I learned by July 4th.. Not saying I was ready to go back to school after a month off, just saying I enjoyed the extra time to play unencumbered by facts, knowledge and math.
" After the second month, they start to forget what they have learned."-Do we ever really forget anything?I used to think I did, but it quickly came back to me. Now I still remember the dress the girl in front of me wore in geometry class.Now THAT was a distraction from the matter at hand, but that’s different from knowing and then forgettng.-Agnes is rested.She gets a fresh teacher to grind down.The principal is out of rehab from last year’s encounters with Agnes by now.ALL IS WELL
School would let out around June 25th. I seem to recall a year or two that went as late as June 26th-27th. One year it was June 23rd. That was nice.No 3 months off. If that were true, school wouldn’t have started the day after Labour Day. It would have started at the end of Sept.
It would take me until mid August to finally be relaxed. Six weeks of hunting down quiet places outside to just sit and read. By mid August I was rested enough to go -Hey lets ride our bikes for 6-8 hours today

In Columbus that happens in October. By Novmber the trees are bare, the leaves are rotting on the ground, and it rains a lot.

What a great idea! Then Christmas would arrive in what is now January, and we’d have only 27 more days of winter to slog through!
