Before this was my elementary school, it was my sons'. My eldest returned for the senior parade and I'm just so proud of him.

I know it's almost coincidental timing with a trip south to IL, but this is the first day all year where it actually seemed like summer was approaching.

There was a point where I wondered if 'Scions' would reach 1500 *views* within a year. To reach this point is crazy. #RoyalRoad #ScionsOfTheTuathaDe

Heard my first rumbles of thunder this year as well as our first bits of hail in southern Greenfield.
The biggest pieces were still *half* the size of peas, though. Not much.

What kind of day has it been?
Checked my hip for my radio a little while ago, and spent more than five minutes looking in and around the classrooms I'd been in.
Went to scratch my chin and bumped its antenna. 🙄

It's silly how a little thing like the Blackhawks on the TV makes it seem less like fall and more like Christmas.
Still don't condone CHSN's methods, but happy I can watch the team. Even if it is a shaky 480i signal.
