I noticed that things are finally winding down around here. So it officially must be the end of summer. Sure, I still have some things growing in the garden, but mostly I’m on clean-up duty these days. My cucumber plants finally died, thank goodness, but I still have a few dozen cukes in the fridge. Note to self: don’t plant as many cukes next year.
Don’t get me wrong–I still have a lot to do, but none of it is pressing. This fall, I’d like to get started on the stone paths in the back yard. I think that will make a nice addition to my garden. And, as a bonus, Brian will have less grass to cut! That’s always a good thing.
Even with the end of summer looming, our social schedule remains a little busy. Now that Jake’s older, things seem to be in full swing again for us. I don’t think we necessarily socialize as much as many people do, but, this year was pretty busy for us. Things started up in spring and haven’t really let up yet. And with the holidays coming, it surely won’t get any better.
If you don’t think fall and winter are right around the corner, I suggest you take a motorcycle ride when the thermometer has dipped below 60 degrees. We did that last night and I thought I had frostbite, my hands were so cold (and I even wore gloves). I guess our motorcycle riding days are numbered. I’ll have to be sure to take advantage of whatever days we have left.
