Late Summer

Finally, the days are getting cooler (if in the 90s, not 110s), and with a little bit of rain from the remnants of Hurricane Issac, the garden is back in bloom. The veggies are producing fruits, the flowers have perked up, and the grass has a hint of green in it. Labor Day weekend, while mostly full of labor, was also full of fun. We attended the wedding of a dear long-time friend, had some (kiddie) pool time, a movie night at home, and a holiday barbecue in the garden. While fall is around the corner, and is my favorite season, the end of summer is always bittersweet. Here's to the last of the summer produce, the glow of the heirloom sunflowers in the sunset, and the final days of sandals and iced drinks.
