Day Two Hundred Forty Four 2013
{Howdy, September!}
No arm-twisting to get Neil to go to the D.Q. this afternoon for sweet treats. He chose a banana split. [After all, bananas are good for you, and also pineapple, strawberries, and yes even chocolate.] No health food for me. I went for the Butterfinger Blizzard with extra stuff on top [worth every penny of the extra 49 cents]. It is Labor Day weekend here in the good old U.S. of A. ~ a holiday tomorrow ~ no work. [A bit of irony there] But unfortunately Neil had to go back in to work right after our D.Q. treat. [That’s why all those pens, pencils and highlighters in his pocket] Grab the good times while you can. They sure do fly by fast.
"Sorrow and scarlet leaf,
Sad thoughts and sunny weather.
Ah me, this glory and this grief
Agree not well together!" ~Thomas Parsons, 1880, A Song For September

Day Two Hundred Forty Three 2013
Randomness
I was in organize mode today upstairs in the bedroom where grandson Knox plays when he’s visiting. Having grandkids is like your own kids never grew up and moved away from home. Knox obviously has a great time playing in here.
Neatness counts. But it doesn’t last. And that’s OK. The most fun can be had in making the mess.
Neil spent part of his afternoon cleaning out the debris in our 1920s basement. He always finds interesting stuff down there ~ leftovers from a bygone era ~ like this strip of linoleum that used to cover the kitchen floor, maybe back in the thirties. He also found an old rusty ax.
It seemed like a good night to make a pot of chili, maybe because it’s Football Time In Tennessee! Go Big Orange! They trampled all over Austin Peay ~ 45 to ZIP. Not surprising, but we’ll see what happens when UT plays a real team. Hope your Saturday was a winner! [So long, August, we hardly knew ya.]

Summer Winding Down
Summer, please restart yourself. ~unknown
I suppose summer is officially considered done come Monday, even though [calendar-wise] there are three weeks left until fall. I have no idea where it went, only that it always goes by way too fast. Happy TGIF, everyone! Enjoy this Labor Day weekend.

Day Two Hundred Forty One 2013
My accidental pumpkin patch. I didn’t throw out any old pumpkins this year, so I don’t know where this vine is coming from. It made its appearance a little too late in the year to be sprouting anything good, so I’ll keep my expectations low and maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised by October.
