Fresh Fish - And Lobsters

Spotted at a local farm stand.

We're back from the States, deep in the throes of an epic battle with jetlag (I'd be awfully happy to not see 3am, or for that matter 4am or 5am, again for quite a while). We did manage to get the kids off for their first day of school this morning, despite they're having been up half the night last night. (In fact, Maya was so excited to go back - to show her friends her new daily calendar featuring the stars of her favorite show, lest you think she was actually excited to begin academics again - that she burst into our bedroom fully dressed, backpack and shoes on, before my alarm had even gone off! Scared the daylights out of me too I might add LOL.)

I'm in image overload right now - I have so many incredible images to process and share with all of you (not to mention list in my etsy and Society6 shops) that I find myself overwhelmed and a bit mentally stuck as I try to figure out where to begin. I'm just going to have to jump in and begin or it will never get started so watch this space - there will be lots to share as I shake off my vacation mindset and get back into regular posting again.

Spotted in a lakeside town not far from where I'm spending my summer...

 

I hope you're all having as wonderful a summer as ours has been as we've traveled around New England visiting relatives and playing tourists. It's winding down now and the kids and I are heading back home to Israel in a few days, where I'll finally have a chance to go through all the hundreds of images on my hard drive and lose myself in the memories of this most glorious of seasons.
