September Summer's Last Hurrah

September,

It's a special time of the year.

The weather starts cooling off 

and gardening starts winding down.

We put up another 21 pints of Salsa.
42 pints total!

And I get to celebrate another birthday.

Last night we had a candlelight dinner 
out under the apricot trees 
beside the grapevines.
We ate spaghetti 
with sauce made from our garden.

It was like the love scene from 
The Lady and The Tramp, LOL.

73 years young and going strong :) 

I love September and think that it is 

one of the prettiest times of the year.

I'm also looking forward to having

more time to spend out in the 

Art Barn sewing.

I'm ready for winter with a new 

bolt of batting.

Lots for fabric stash and

creative enthusiasm.

Here's photos from a project

I started last spring and have been waiting to get back to.

I used to dread winter with it's cold 

winds and icy roads,

but now I call it quilting season

and I look forward to the tranquility of

needle work.   

So as we get ready to enjoy the last 

lovely month of summer

and look forward to Autumn's glory,

I wish you all a wonderful 

month.

Keep Smiling!

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)
