Monday of the last week before the chaos of the semester begins. The calm before the storm, so to speak. Batten down the hatches! Getting back to a regular 5 day week/8 hours a day will make my evenings feel more luxurious time-wise. Tonight when I get home I'll be tired but I am still planning to process the tomato sauce and juice that I steam juiced yesterday.

People north of here are beginning to talk about summer ending, but we have another six weeks at least and then a cooler but still likely dry fall (giving us a second prime growing season). There's no groundhog day for approaching fall, unless you consider toads poking their heads out of their subterranean cool areas and pulling back under for a few more weeks. :)
