Digging in the Dirt with Stacy Kershaw ~ September 2019 ~Forget the Fall Cleanup!
|
The mornings are chillier, the days are shorter…fall is on its way. It was the perfect summer for garden lovers— lots of bright sun and healthy doses of rain. While I’m sad to see it end, I’m excited for vibrant fall color. There is of course, the obligatory end of the season cleanup in the garden….or is there? Consider this: Pollinators and birds thrive with adequate winter cover like leaf litter and dead plant material.

Growing Pains

By Brooke Shamon
Voices @ Bedford High School
Writing has always come naturally to me. The desire to write, the inspiration to produce, and the motivation to create have kept me going all these years. Typically, when I get an article assignment, I can sit down and immediately begin my “vomit draft.” Gross, I know, but that’s the word my summer professor drilled into my head for our “craft” as she calls it.
However, when I pitched this idea and stuck with it (Preparing for College, Preparing for the Big Move, Going Going, Gone), I found myself at a loss for words. No perfect way to describe how this feels, no cute analogy or connection to a famous scene in a TV show or movie. I guess maybe it’s because I’m having a hard time understanding my own feelings.

Summer: the long-awaited break that every child dreams of. The mysticism of the season ignites anticipation in any youngling who hears the word mentioned. Pool parties, camp, free time, and most of all, sleep, make this break from school so cherished.
