corner view~september

I have joined Corner View, the project hosted by Jane that brings together bloggers from all over the world. We share our thoughts about a specific weekly theme. Today's theme is September.

In the rhythm of our life September is a time to feel reoriented back home after having been away for the entire summer. We have always left our tropical world in early June to travel to the U.S. mainland and see our families. We usually return sometime in August. So by September the kids are back at school and we are settling into a family routine - with regular meals, chores, homework, gardening, songwriting, story writing, new movies to watch, and, of course, down time.

We have been home for twenty four days. Today I finally took some time to take photos to show you our world in the autumn. I went to a sleepy, remote, beachfront town about ten minutes from our more suburban, developed area. The oceanfront stone church (sans cross) was founded in 1832. I appreciated being able to do this, it slowed me down and made me focus on a place special to me, close to where I live. I realized I haven't taken my children here in years. And I should again.
