Mountain Day!

So, I'm fully entrenched in the intense schedule that is student teaching and taking three college courses, hence the lack of posting. I'm going to try to be more on top of wakingslow.com now that I'm in a bit of a routine.

Today at Smith College was Mountain Day. It's a surprise day when the weather is gorgeous in the fall--to celebrate, all classes are cancelled. I still had my responsibilities at the high school, but then no Smith classes, so I headed out to a local farm market with some friends to sit in the sun and have some cider. Delightful.

The weather here in Western Massachusetts has just been glorious since I moved out here in June. There have been so many profoundly beautiful days. I mention them in anticipation of what I'm sure will be an awful winter. I hope to appease the weather spirits by paying them ample compliments now. Absolutely gorgeous out here. It's good for the soul.
