It's mid-August. College kids are packing to leave, and grade-schoolers are eyeing school supplies. Carter Park pool is quiet most afternoons, and most of us are focused on September instead of August. These last weeks can be a blur; what did we not accomplish this summer?
It reminds me of how fast the days in Ashland have flown by. Our summers used to be filled with the activities of kids, pool trips, camps, sleep-overs with friends. I can see this era ending as we now have two college kids in our house and a middle-schooler left at home. They don't need me to manage their days any more, which was a goal that I dreamed about ten years ago. Like many things that we think we need, the actual thing that we are longing for fails to live up to our expectations.
The Ashland Farmer’s Market is larger than ever, and there are more customers that ever- so get there early this Saturday to stock up on wonderful late-summer vegetables, flowers for your kitchen table, home-baked breads, free-range eggs, and anything else to make your kitchen resemble a Southern Living photo-shoot.
The Patrick Henry Half Marathon is about to run it’s twelfth year through the streets ofAshland Bridge Road
Congratulations to the new Wawa for putting up framing that shows us that they actually do plan on constructing an actual building!
