What did this week look like?

---

This past week was the calm before Hurricane Ian, and some of the quiet after the storm passed. The pears would not make it beyond the two days we planned to close school. I took them all home, worked on my drawing, and made pear crisp. It was delicious. I was lucky to be safe at home, and our neighborhood is in good shape. The brief hours without electricity were instructive and peaceful--out power came back on before the weather turned hot again. I look forward to getting back to focusing on these mundane and beautiful moments with my students at school.
