End of Summer

When we get to enjoy sunflowers and sweet corn, you know summer is coming to an end. And once the State Fair is over... we start thinking about the fall salmon season, and then our grapes... just before our first frost.

No matter how pretty, tasty and fun, it always feels bitter sweet. Ever slightly melancholy. This week Joe lost a cousin to a fire. Another reminder that life sometimes is not fair. A good reason for us to go out fishing more often, only to enjoy a beautiful moment in the woods. 

On a lighter note, we finally booked our October vacation to Hawaii's Big Island. Something lovely and exotic to look forward to.
