Happy Labor Day

I love September. The heat of summer has peaked, and the days are still sunny and warm. I don't feel guilty about replacing the sad looking petunias in my planters with cheerful chrysanthemums. Sweet corn starts coming in from local farms, along with early apples.

I'm a little jealous of kids buying school supplies. My fingers itch to crack open the colorful cover of a new notebook and write on the pristine pages. I've always been drawn to jars of white paste, and don't really understand everyone's concern over taking a little taste. I love new staplers, and pens with glitter ink, and funny eraser animals. Thankfully, I've long since outgrown such juvenile stuff or my office would look like the inside of a first graders Hello Kitty backpack.

Now where did I put that fresh pack of pastel colored post-it notes?

Status: Unchanged. It's a holiday for goodness sake.
