Sept the somethingth

... Chris is backing going over his teaching for fellowship tonight, I have a ham in the oven and the fruit salad is made up, Christopher is scrubbing out the cooler and in a bit we will head off to the lake with friends.  It's been a stressful week on so many levels.  Even good stress is stress.  Tomorrow we will declare a day of complete rest for our home.  A day to regroup, reconnect, putter around and do things we enjoy....

....I hope everyone has a wonderful day..all day long...

The morns are meeker then they were,
the nuts are getting browner,
the cherries cheek is plumper;
the rose is out of town.

The maple wears a gayer  scarf,
the field a scarlet gown...
lest I be old fashion,
I'll put a trinket on.
