Wait, school started?

…and I haven’t made one fruit cobbler all summer?

I need to get my head checked.

Nothing brings you back to reality more than getting back from vacation and seeing the bright yellow flash of buses whizzing by in the morning. Seriously…school? NO! I’m not ready for more traffic in the early morning rush, or schedules or EVERY DAY school for L as I make a frantic call to the preschool director…’does he really have to go every single day???’ It seems like a lot. He is 4.

Thankfully his preschool respects the laziness of the last weeks of summer and doesn’t begin until after Labor Day. (God bless them). That gives me a nice amount of time to sort it out while I bake as many cobblers as I can possibly fit in. I’m hoping I’ll find the answer I’m looking for somewhere between a raspberry and peach one.

Promise me you’ll make one before it’s too late. Let’s hold on (tightly!) to all that summer gives us as long as we possibly can. We all know what is looming around the corner…

Even if you don’t think you like cobbler, make it for the smell you get when you first open the oven. It’ll change your mind.
