August 4th, 2024

  

        This is today's Morning Chalkboard.

      The first thing that sticks out to me wasn't the quote. It was the sunset.

  Tonight the sun goes down at five minutes after eight o'clock. Before long we will have our last sunset after 8:00 p.m., one of those late summer milestones that quietly tells us Autumn is around the corner…

    I added the countdown to Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas to give you Chalkheads a sense of where we are in the year. Thirty-four days until Labor Day. Less than two weeks until school starts. One season is winding down while another is already knocking on the door.

        As for today's quote...

             "What are men to rocks and mountains?"

   I don't have much wisdom to offer about this quote. I do know it is from Pride and Prejudice. I simply like it and the perspective it has, so I chalked it down.

      Not every quote has to come with a Jumbo sermon or story. Sometimes a few words are enough to make you stop, look around, and remember how small we are compared to the world. A joint that was here long before us and will be here long after we are enjoying eternal love.

         Enjoy your Tuesday, Chalkheads. 

      Summer is moving a little faster now, but it is Tuesday morning and I’m already in a daydream…
