It's Labour Day weekend here in the United States, also known as Summer's Last Hurrah. So let's say goodbye to summer and hello to the autumn. (People in other climes, feel free to adapt as needed.)
1. Share a highlight from this summer. (If you please, don't just say "our vacation to the Canadian Rockies." Give us a little detail or image. Help us live vicariously through you!)
This has been a strange summer, the weather has not been great ( huge understatement), and with Jo and Jon leaving school, Jo working and Jon going on an Australian tour we have had little family time. I worked through our main sailing week, travelling into and out of work from the caravan! I guess through all of this a couple of things stand out, first the twins A'level result day, and the celebrations that followed as our house filled with 20 happy young people all looking forward to their futures, and then walking Blakney Point with Tim- a day of huge relaxation in the midst of a crazily busy summer!!!! I am looking forward to a holiday in October though- just the two of us!!!
Photo; Blakney Point- there is nothing there!!!!... and I love it.
2. Are you glad to see this summer end? Why or why not?
Yes and no- yes because I haven't really had a break and am looking forward to getting away, and yes because I am looking forward to my children leaving for University- and no for the same reason- all change around here- kind of scary!
Off to University- celebrating together!
3. Name one or two things you're looking forward to this fall.
The start of my M.A. course- a couple of Units I am really looking forward to this one in particular Feminist Perspectives on Pastoral Theology, a few days away with Tim, and learning what it is to be a couple again, after years of having children at home!
4. Do you have any special preparations or activities to mark the transition from one season to another? (Cleaning of house, putting away summer clothes, one last trip to the beach)
Last trip to the beach???? No the beach is my year round companion!!!
Beach walking in January! 
Blackberry picking would have to count as an autumn activity- I love making crumbles, and even blackberry wine in a good year!
5. I'll know that fall is really here when, the days start getting shorter, and the trees change colour, walnuts are ready to be picked ( the squirrel battle commences again!). It is a toss up between spring and autumn for my fav. season of the year!
