Fall Is Coming!

 
Happy Labor Day!!!!

It's been a gloriously, beautiful weekend here...our summer has arrived, albeit a tad bit late!!!
Yesterday after church, we all went out to lunch and then to the mall for a bit. My daughter talked me into doing this:

 Piercing my ears!!!!!! I had them pierced when I was a girl, but over the years had trouble and just let them go. Now I'm back with the in-crowd!!!! Well, maybe not, since regular ear piercing doesn't seem to be the norm anymore!!!

The last garage sales of the summer were the best all year!!!
I got this cool green scale. I love that is says "American Family Scale" on the front!!

Some vintage games, including the original Candy Land game!!!! The blue gingerbread man is missing, but it has all the original instructions, game board, etc. The Flinch game still has it's cards wrapped. It's from 1962! Lots of old dominoes and some new ones. Old flash cards and clipboards.

I also got some old ledgers and notebooks from the University of Washington. Never used!!!! A fabulous old, butter yellow, wool blanket and a new boat!!!!

 Okay, so it's a paddle boat!!! But it's in great shape and we've wanted one for the pond. We took a little tour  and did a lot of weeding from the water! Very handy!!!

Our pond looks so big in this picture!!!

We're starting to clean out the garden. My beans, corn and squash are still going strong, but we took out the broccoli, peas, lettuce, and all the junky stuff. I've dug some potatoes, but will leave most in the ground for awhile yet. My carrots are HUGE!!! Should have pulled them all and tried to store them, but no room!!!! My freezers are full and I still have to make room for corn!!!

I love having provisions lined up for the fall and winter!!
Starting to think about cozy things.....sweaters, soup, baking, resting, quilting, etc. The nights are cooling down and getting crisp. The leaves are just starting to turn. The mornings are foggy and cool and the moon has an orange glow about it.

Fall is coming!!!!
