It's now September, which means we're saying goodbye to summer and hello to fall! My favorite season! This means kids are back to school, and I'm back to teaching. Travis likes to take a picture of me on the first day of school every year. I feel like I'm a kid again and my mom's taking that "first day of school" picture. Here's this year's picture (sorry the lighting isn't the best):
This will be my fourth year teaching! I feel so blessed to be a teacher and to get to know and love so many students! This year I'm also teaching Utah History, which I am so excited about! My students are so wonderful and so bright, I know this will be an awesome year!
Aside from school, autumn also brings a harvest! Remember how last fall Travis and I were so excited about our basil plant? Well, we are SUPER excited for this fall's harvest! We have basil, oregano, cilantro, asparagus (though we can't harvest them until the third year), carrots, peppers and tomatoes! We've already helped ourselves to the tomatoes over the summer, putting them in sandwiches and spaghetti sauce (along with our basil and oregano), and the plant is still growing more and more! This week I made home-made chicken noodle soup with our carrots, and we still have so many left in the tubs outside! Looks like we'll be having lots of carrots with our dinners for the next little while!
