I’m sitting here on the cozy shore of Oyster Creek. It’s been a long and beautiful summer. Never have I seen so many birds. I seemed to form a closer relationship with an eagle, a grey heron, an old duck, and a mysterious owl. It felt supernatural in a way. Just yesterday two eagles were circling overhead while I was having a conversation with my husband. We looked up and saw these two bald eagles who seemed to want to duke it out right there above us. It was odd…

It’s getting cooler. The sky is also a bit bluer. The light is changing. The days don’t linger like they did. There’s a definite bedtime, and now it’s a school night. That feels weird, but I’m glad there’s a school to go to. Working from home was getting old.
