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.
The barn they've been working on; all that's left is to paint the doors.
This cute little shed had some repair work done too.
We had a yummy supper and then played some Dominos. This is Bob, his brother Tom, the homeowner Lori, and Toms wife Bonnie.
We had a really nice evening together. Here's what it looked like when we were leaving Lori's house.And that's the beginning of September - another good day!

What a feel-good post (except for the humidity). I bet you feel accomplished getting all those errands and shopping trips done. And good for you with sausage and peppers in the freezer. How wonderful of your husband and brother in-law to help with the repairs and what a nice evening with dinner and dominos. A great start to the week!
Dear Mari, your post came up in my news reader on time. Yay. Good that you are trying to not let the weather change bother you. I do love Autumn 🍂 for the colours, crisp, fresh air and the harvest of my favourite root vegetables such as Rutabaga.
You did great cutting the vegetables and buying the sausage on sale, preparing it and freezing it.
Great job.
