I suppose it becomes offical that summer is over once Labor Days comes. The warm days will still be here but cooler evenings and morning will come in the days to follow. Nothing is better than waking on a crisp morning and smelling the aroma of Autumn in the air. Cozy evening or mornings by the fireplace. Warm baked apples for dessert. Crispy leaves on the ground when you walk. Pumpkins, scarecrows, acorns... I just love Autumn!

    We aren't doing much today. No bbq's, although we will grill some chicken tonight. We aren't inviting anyone over. My DH and I were just talking on the phone and he decided to take the day off tomorrow because he feels, as I do, that we just haven't been able to spend enough "family" time together lately. So that is what we will be doing tonight and tomorrow. DH and I will kick back with a nice "adult" drink on the deck tonight, once the kiddo's are asleep, and just enjoy ourselves. Tomorrw we will have a nice big family breakfast and after we are going to finish painting the inside of our camper. We are planning a camping trip for the 20-24 of September so we need to get this camper finished up.

   I bought 20 lbs. of apples yesterday and I'm making applesauce all day today. Boy, does this house smell yummy! I would like to see if I am able to find some local pumpkins (since mine didn't bloom) and make some pumpkin butter. MMMM, that smells good cooking too.

    Hope y'all have a good day with family and friends!
