Happy Monday, Pokeys! Last day of August... This always makes me a little sad and a little excited.
Sad to see summer slipping away... Our region had a frost warning last night, but we decided we didn't need to cover veggies because of all the dampness in the air, but the summer season is definitely coming to an end here. Time has a funny way this year of seeming to stand still, then jumping forward in a huge pounce. Talking about possible frost yesterday made me remember that every year in early September, I pick the tomatoes off the plants to ripen in the basement. And pick off anything else that is in danger of frost damage. What a shock that tomorrow will be September!!!
Excited out of habit I think from all those years in the academic system... Fall has always been a time of new adventures for me. I usually travel to see the kids in September, but won't be doing that this year. Stop on the way home to do a little scrappy shopping. I always end up picking up at least one new clothing item--and I have the sweater collection to prove it! Hoping SKETCHtember will be a nice boost. New ideas: bring 'em on! Lots of new people signed up for the TEAMS (including kellyr21 ): hope we don't scare you all off!
Hoping all is well in your household, kitbop . And knutschen I hope you continue to stay safe: what a scare you had! Hoping your mojo comes back with a vengeance, Linda . Looking forward to seeing your September pages, janesays .
