instagram link-up

I think I captured Cape Cod pretty perfectly last week through my instagram photos. I couldn’t take enough pictures of the water (as is quite evident below!). The photo above is my favorite because it’s just so simple, which is exactly what I love about the sea. The water is sparking too, which makes it seem like some kind of magic.

Ahh, seashore, glorious seashore.

Hope you had a lovely Monday!

 

back to work (kinda)

Yeah, yeah, I know the picture doesn’t fit the title of this post, but I just wish I was chillin’ out on a ferry to some island instead of heading back to school today. It’s not the first day of school for the kiddos, only for teachers in my district. It’s a professional development workshop week to prepare for the new writing program we’re implementing this year. I’m excited, but there’s a huge part of me that’s still wanting to be on the beach.

I have to remind myself that some people don’t get a summer vacation at all. I’m one of the lucky ones in that sense. Teacher’s have got it good come warm weather, but we deserve it, too. It’s no easy job, even on the best days. I’m ready to tackle the new year and excited for the fun and challenges teaching brings. I love what I do, but it still doesn’t make seeing summer go any easier. My days of freedom are over until next June.

And so, I leave you with a song:
So long sweet summer.
