Doesn’t feel like September here. I’m thinking more Julyish. But I love the thought of September. Transition Time.

Today’s weather in Minnesota is very much Septemberish. Cool and a welcome change from the heat and humidity. I’m wearing flannel today!

    I was so happy that my older granddaughter was born in September. It’s a great chance to come to Oregon to see the autumn leaves 🍁. That was before we moved here.
