GETTING THE LAST BIT OF SUMMER HERE IN CANADA

The time to reflect and plan are upon us. Enjoying the bounty of the summer season with more market visits is so enjoyable. It is one aspect of Summer that is missed when all the crops are in and it's back to hot house tomatoes and cucumbers. Wearing all my whites for a couple more weeks before the Fall garments must emerge for the cooler temperatures. Finishing some projects and getting back to others. Helping the children with their children as school is around the corner. What else can be visited as a day outing? If warm, just enjoying those rays with a good book. Just stopping and smelling the roses- well because there are roses in the garden to smell!! Picking the herbs to be dried- some parsley, basil and oregano. Can I dry some mint too? Of course needing to hear the whining from many that it was not a good summer! I think it was an amazing summer like every other one. Beats boots and coats so wearing long sleeves occasionally was okay. Actually it is not over until the fat lady sings or here in Canada we say- until the snow flies!!
