Happy almost-end-of-summer!
For the second year, I've given myself (and my family too) a little August challenge: get in the lake every single day. So far, I've only missed three! There's nothing particularly ambitious about it. It's really just my way of slowing down long enough to soak summer into my bones, appreciate this incredible place we get to call home, and hold onto the feeling of these warm days before they disappear.
Maybe that's why I've been noticing all the signs of summer winding down around KLT. Camp has wrapped up. Our interns are beginning to scatter back to college and new adventures. Projects that seemed a long way off in June are suddenly getting crossed off the list. And somehow, in the middle of it all, an incredible amount has happened.
This edition of The Dirt is a bit of a look back at what this summer has held: young people learning and growing, special places being cared for, and a community continuing to show up for one another.
Summer may be winding down, but what we put into people and place during these months has a way of sticking with us.
I'm going to keep getting in that lake as long as August lets me.
Enjoy these last warm days!
