A Day in my life - September

It's September! I know a lot of you are rejoicing in that fact. I'm kind of sad as I hate to see Summer come to an end, but I'm trying to live in the moment and not think about the cold weather that's coming...

In the meantime, here's how I spent the first day of the month.

We have been in the middle of a heat wave here, with high humidity. This was what greeted me when I got up. It was so hot and humid already that the slider was steamed up.

This it the view I saw across the street when I started my morning walk.

Walking down our street.

I saw this sign of Fall on the road.

I walked for a bit in the woods. It's hard to see but there is a trail there.

I got home and had breakfast, then did a little cleaning around the house. After that it was a day to run errands and I had a lot of them to do!

I went to Staples to do some Amazon returns. I made a Costco stop - that's never quick! Gordon Food Service is a place that supplies a lot of facilities, hospitals and restaurants and I occasionally stop there for some things for the freezer. I stopped at the butcher to get some meat and then went to Meijer to get groceries.

Italian sausage was on sale, so I bought 5 pounds and when I got home, I browned and drained it and put it in freezer bags. Next time I need it for lasagna, spaghetti... it'll be easy to use.

I also had peppers to take care of. I cut up 10 peppers and put them into freezer bags.

At 5pm we were invited to be somewhere for supper. Bob and his brother have been doing some work on a couple buildings for a lady in our town who lost her husband suddenly. She wanted to have us for supper to thank them.
