As I wrote here, I LOVE FALL. And the return to school means that the church across the street becomes a school again instead of a summer camp. Which means for me: no more singing hordes of children which I’m writing in the morning. (I secretly kind of like it, but I shall pretend to be a grumpy old lady.)

So where were we? Right, back to school. The weather has been slightly cooler in NY this week and I’ve actually wanted a jacket the last few days. You’d be surprised how much this excites me. So in honor of this beloved time of year – repurposing school supplies….
