Slowly getting back into the blogosphere. I missed your summer reading program entirely! Just wanted to say “hi.”

Cheers! Lisa

Just the idea of two teenagers makes me tired! Here the autumn smell of fruit is apples.

And not just because the (endless!) school holidays are ending but because sunlight in September has a golden quality wholly absent to the scorching days of August. Well, scorching and a bit soggy in places.

My 3yo is doing a pretty good impersonation of a teenager at the moment. And I’ve got a serious reading programme going too! How’s yours been?

As a mother, sometimes it is all one can do to stay standing under the onslaught.

May autumn bring you not only sweet smells, but peace and quiet as well.

I think you should do other things than make me reading materials – lying out in the garden on an elegant lounger with tea to hand and a good book or magazine sort of things, for instance. To recover. But I’ll send you a bookish email any time you like. ;)

Love Ben’s comments. Thanks and love to Joem18b for the link to Joh Wobble’s Inspiration of William Blake. And Patti Smith’s “In My Blakean Year” has been running through my brain this evening.

I’ve read a lot in the last month. Blogged about it for your summer reading? Nah!

Fall is for back-to-school, hooray. And you should indulge yourself in some jam-making, BL. Then you can REALLY smell that fruit.

The internet is lacking in good spirit smells, though it’s nice to have you back from break. :-)

Like a noble pine covered in English Ivy. Like a bed of Vina minor overcome by wisteria! Like a garden path clogged with clover! Poor thing.

Spending most of August off the ‘net and doing other things. Congratulations on post No. 401. You are a gift. xo, mari

I’ve finished my reading program and posted about it on my web site: http://tamarapaulin.wordpress.com/2011/08/31/my-report-card-for-lilys-summer-reading-program/

(I made up my own scoring.)

I definitely pushed myself a little more out of my zone thanks to the program. It was terrific fun!
