September is here ~ I’m delighted because it’s one of my favorite months!
I’m leaning in for:
- A steady stream of sunny days
- A significant drop in humidity (my hair approves!)
- Stew simmering in the Crock pot
- This morning the kitchen smells of savory meat, root vegetables and pepper
- No fall candle can top that!
- This morning the kitchen smells of savory meat, root vegetables and pepper
- The start of College Football
- Windows open, A/C off
- Sweater weather returns
- But we may need shorts & a hoodie in the same day!
Tracking Hurricane Dorian and scrolling through other news stories, this caught my attention:
When I was a girl, we ended up with a Pit Bull at our farm ~ one of Dad’s jockeys brought him to Canada from Louisiana, probably illegally. He was skinny and jumpy, tied up all day in the city. Brian brought him out in the spring when they broke horses and when he left, Butkus stayed. Filled out. Bulked up. He followed Dad everywhere ~ he snorted and drooled and intimidated everyone who pulled into the farm yard. But he was a big baby ~ a cuddle bear, he loved to play tug-o-war and lie on his back for belly scratches. The irony of his ruff & tuff exterior was that it was two “safe” dog breeds – an idiot neighbor’s Labrador & Dalmatian, who got to him. They fought, he lost; he crawled home where he died in my Dad’s arms. #therearenobaddogs
