This was always the dream, but I never managed to make it happen. Year after year, on the last day of school, pick up the kids and leave straight from there to go to the beach (or wherever). I can't think of a more thrilling opening to the summer season. :) Thanks for this thoughtful, insightful essay on tradition, Kat, and for the rest. Seeing that yard violet has landed in my inbox is like receiving and opening and relishing a wonderful gift. Happiest summer to you!
