Wow...

Where did the summer go? Here we are in the midst of celebrating Labor Day weekend which is always a bittersweet weekend - a celebration which signifies the end of another chapter of carefree summer days (which are often only carefree for the under twelve set).

Anyway, I plan to be back next Saturday with a special Spin if I can get the proper waivers and releases signed. We just returned from a trip to Canada - a visit to family from Scissor's side in the Toronto area. I have some funny anecdotes and observations from the trip but I'll leave you with a picture of Julian, our own little Doctor Doolittle from an outing to the petting zoo. The boy belongs on a farm.



In a truly bittersweet summer tale, he may never know if they just loved him for his carrots.



Enjoy your weekend and look on the bright side - apple picking can't be far off!

Cactus apples?

Julian looks good with critters.

I hear they make wonderful pies...after a very good cleaning of course.

He does, doesn't he?

He is a boy after my own heart. Who cares if the animals love us for our food - it's an even trade I'd say ;)

Nice post - and yes, fall is in the air already. My hawthorne berries are already red and dropping... usually this doesn't usually happen until well into October.

Sometimes love starts with a carrot. :-)

I look forward to special Spin!

Every year I forget that some of the leaves in NY begin turning in August. It's always a shock. this year more than ever.

Julian's more adorable than ever :)

Terry, you're so right.

Even though it's still warm outside, I feel the need to get some fall clothes out and at the ready.

Ariel, and ends with a stew :) Meet me back here.

Weirsdo, it does the soul good to get away. Thanks.

Thanks Pia. Everything is early this year - school, Holidays, the leaves turning can't be far off.

Thanks Actonbell. I've missed visiting about this summer. I hope to make a little more "creative" time for myself as I settle in to hibernate in the fall :)

I've hardly been anywhere in Canada which I agree, just doesn't seem right. We really enjoyed it.
