The relentless toll of knowledge is starting to wear down some of the kids.

We can tell when the first game of the season is approaching by the sudden appearances of a-frames and beams used to build barriers to the parking lots, dropped here and there with little concern for where they land.

The transition from sidewalk to garden to wall outside of my building makes for some interesting textures.

Morning light will make even a simple seam look good.

Someone’s aim was off.

The late-summer stretch is on for the garden.

I suspect it’s just a matter of time before the old Athens bus station is torn down as it’s now sandwiched between luxury student and game day housing. I wonder how many kids came to Athens for the first time on a bus, suitcase in hand, ready to start their university education?

I’ll admit to avoiding the campus area during dorm move in days and we have already started prepping for our oldest to head to college in a year’s time. No one was stuffing a mini fridge under the old Greyhound busses, I’m sure.
