September….already!

Autumn is a good time to sit back and take a look at all the hard work you put into planting, watering, feeding and weeding that garden of yours.  Well, it is at our house.

It is hard to believe that it’s now the month of September.  The Summer months have zipped by so quickly.  But wait.  That is not entirely true because if you have been following me on my blog, you will know that My Man and I have had a very long and busy Summer.

We celebrated Canada’s 150 year celebrations with many friends and family.  We also enjoyed ourselves at two weddings this July and August.

It was great to see so many people that we haven’t seen for a few years.

Our weather was hot and dry.  Yes, dare I say, it was almost too hot?  No rain since June. Temperatures have been in the mid to high 30C.  Nice if you can stay out of the blazing sun.  Because of the BC fires in the interior, it has been rough for many people who had to evacuate from their homes.

The sun struggles to shine through the smoke in the air.

So it is no surprise that today’s cooler temperatures and spotty rain showers are welcomed by all around here.  The grass is standing a little bit taller and that garden that we are looking at today…well, it looks ready for harvesting.

Think I will go and see what may need to be picked.  Maybe the tomatoes?

If you have an abundance of tomatoes, why not check out my latest tomato soup recipe.Creamy Tomato and Basil Soup
