Ivy League offers and Autumn Descension

This came in the mail yesterday and caused quite a stir. From the Admissions Director at Harvard College, for Nick, our son.

You see, Nick scored very high on his tests. Very high. He is a celebrity at his high school and we have received offers from some very exciting schools. This is one he wants to frame. I can't blame him, the world is wide open to him, right now!

In opposition to what seems to be happening on so many blogs today, I am posting about the summer time. The heat, the bugs, the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer. I love it. No talk of the white death on my blog. It is AUGUST!!!

  1. Harvard admissions? That is indeed impressive... congrats to your son and to you!

    Your flowers look great. Yes, it's August, nearly September, now is way too soon to give up on the garden!

  2. Your vibrantly colored flowers look like they're celebrating too, Sissy - did you plant the Nicky phlox for your son? [I thought maybe he'd been called Nicky when he was younger.] Congratulations to him!

  3. Congrats to Nick!

    I love the phlox combined with the daisy. The daisy makes the phlox stand out and yet at the same time seems to soften it a bit.

    I'm hoping that we have some summer left! The s word won't pass my lips until Dec 1 or when I actually the awful stuff.
