Hi everyone. Happy September 2. I hope you had a nice start to the new month. We were supposed to have some much needed rain yesterday, but mostly it was just clouds. But besides nothing more than a few drips falling, it made for a nice relaxing day for me. 😊 Today I am posting to join Bleubeard and Elizabeth and Squiggles too for Second on the Second, where all you have to do is repost something from an earlier post.
I recently started my 7th year of retirement. Where does the time go? I decided for this month's second look I would go back to the start of the last year I was teaching, September 2019. It was fun to look back and see what I posted and what life was like when I was working full time.
Then I started to wonder what I was up to during my first retired September, right in the full swing of COVID and before we had vaccinations to protect us.
How had 2021 changed from 2020, now that I was vaccinated and felt a little more "free" to get out and about?
I might as well keep going at this point,right?
I remember making that 2022 page. Was it really 4 years ago? On to 2023.
And then onto 2024. I also remember making this spread like it was yesterday also.
And finally, last year.
Time just goes by too fast. However, I am glad I have a blog so I can look back and see what else I was up to during those months and years. 👍 It's a nice reminder of just how rich and wonderful life can be.
I may be slow to comment on blogs today as I am off to my last play for this season at the Ogunquit Playhouse. I'm looking forward to this one; it's The Producers by Mel Brooks, which I saw years ago in Boston. I remember laughing a lot.
Enjoy your day!

...Erika, I wish you many lovely autumn days!
I like the 2021 and 2023 the most!
Wow, 7 years retired? Seems like yesterday you were announcing you were retiring from teaching. Out of the pages you posted, you must know my favorite is Ink, the black cat looking out the window. Cloudy skies, but it's not raining. enjoy!
Those pages are lovely! So much thought and theming around them...
What a remarkable look back. I love that you shared art from 2019 forward. It certainly was impressive. And of course, I remember most of these as if they had been created yesterday. Thank you ever so much for sharing all these second looks on the 2nd.
Erika belas criações, desejo um ótimo mês de Setembro bjs.
Happy Seventh! This makes for a fun look back!
Yes, time does go by fast. I agree having a blog to go back to see what what going on in our lives is a good diary. All of the art is fabulous. Have a good time tonight. Ahhh we are getting much needed rain right now.
These are all really beautiful, Erika!
Such a lovely look back ... and you are right to ask, where do the years go, where does time go ... it certainly doesn't stand still!
Enjoy the play and happy Autumn wishes.
All the best Jan
Great posts choices-I enjoyed them all-loving the dog for sure.
we 100 f for another day-and I have loads of hummingbirds now too filled up the feeders twice more today-I think I am getting travelers coming through Happy first week in September hugs Kathy
A nice look back. 7 years retired already, wow.
It's nice to looks back but can be quite sobering, not least to 2020 which now seems like fiction, but was oh so scary. I too was still teaching (art) in 2019, that all changed the following year.

It is nice to be able to have visuals to bring back memories. I agree--time is zooming by. I'm reading this on Thursday, so hope you had a great time at the play!
7 years, Covid, oh, time speeds by!!! My fav is the honey-Sunflower :-) Thanks for the looks back, hugs
They are all so wonderful. Couldn't pick a favorite. What a great way to look back.
