Goodbye Summer!

I really don't have a big story planned here ... I just wanted to acknowledge that this was a short but pleasant summer for me.  It took forever to warm up, and then cooled off quickly. 

We went on many short excursions and day trips; went for 10 days of camping nearby; and had some fun visits with family and friends.  

We didn't get a garden in, but we did add the birdbaths and bird feeders.  That has certainly increased the wildlife in our front yard.  This week I bought wild bird sunflower seeds, and that sure did make a difference in the number and variety of the birds around here.  We have lots of doves now, along with little brown birds and chickadees.  I have added carrots and apples for the deer, squirrels and chipmunks.  They seem to enjoy that.


School began for the Oregon kids today.  I am glad that fall is here.  Cary and I have some neat things planned to do, and I feel like getting back into crafting and art.


I hope that everybody else had a great summer.  I wish you lots of love and happiness for the rest of the year.
