Private flute and piano teacher
Director of Handbells at my church
The "Waldorf" inspired pre-school that I had at my house when the boys where young.
Then I became a real Waldorf teacher for 9 years.
June has always meant that my schedule got lighter and I would have free time. We always spent August away somewhere and September meant the beginning of not just the kids schedule filling up but mine too.
Now the boys don't live here most of the year, I have retired from teaching and handbell directing, and my life can often be the same day in and day out.
But yesterday, even though the weather outside is far from "fall like" I sat on my front porch with Miss Claire watching all the kids walking to school with their new backpacks and it just felt like fall.
The start of school gives me the hope that fall really is on it's way. We may have weeks of hot weather ahead but I can smell sweater knitting just around the corner.
I found this on flickr. Waldorf teachers and parents have been "felting" scenes like this for a very long time. Take a look at her other felted dolls they are wonderful.

I want to start needle felting like this again and making
Nature Tables that will celebrate the Seasons once again in style.

Fall is my favorite season. I can't wait! That felted doll on the pumpkin is adorable.
I love fall too. Doesn't it "feel" like a more natural beginning of the New Year; as opposed to January 1.
It does feel like a more natural beginning. But then I was listening to a women on some podcast talking about how the spring equinox is really the beginning of the year. Everyone to their own. But I love love love fall!
