School is almost finished for public school students. This has been an intense, polarizing school year in Greensboro and in all of North Carolina. Between the season's weather events, educational reform, changes to the reward system for teachers, budget issues, and the debate over common core, this school year has had been one of asking and attempting to solve very difficult educational questions. Summer vacation provides much needed time for relaxation, reflection, and rejuvenation.
The above photo, taken at the outdoor tables at Cheesecakes by Alex, reminds us of how relaxing it can be to fill a mason jar with cut flowers and sit in the glorious outside. The simplest of things can be the most comforting. It is a matter of taking things we have around us and arranging them in the most pleasing manner. Here's to starting off our summer appreciating the simplest of things and, in our calmest moments, we just may find answers to some very complicated questions. And, if not, at least, we'll all come back to the drawing board rested.
Ella Fitzgerald sang it best..... "Summertime and the livin' is easy".......
So simple and so nice.
I like it!

It does make for a pleasant table setting.
