It's been a really nice weekend in the middle of August

This has been a really lovely weekend, especially with the weather.  We've had the windows open since Thursday, and Friday was almost chilly.  It's really been awesome weather.

I'm especially grateful for it, as we had several outdoor activities this weekend.  High school football started Friday.  I didn't go to the game, but Andrew is still doing stats so he was there.  Yesterday morning he had to work at the JV game.  Last evening we had several members of his staff over, and we all sat around outdoors.  It was such a truly lovely evening.  The staff members brought kids along with them, and as my friend pointed out, she loved that everyone felt so completely comfortable here.

This morning our church had a picnic after holding an outdoor service.  The weather was absolutely perfect, especially since there are big trees and we sat in the shade.  I was so grateful to not only get to experience my faith, I loved doing so in the public realm just across from the university campus.  It was a lovely way to have a Sunday morning service, and the weather was absolutely ideal.

We are heading in to our first full week of school.  I can't imagine a more peaceful way to begin the week.  I must note though, that the heat index is going to be over 100 several days this week.  I suspect grumpiness is headed my way!
