So Long Summer....See you around, if you ain't square....

Dear Summer,
I know that you have packed your bags and you are waiting patiently at the train station to hit the road, it's been a good run, until next year....
But shout "Hallelujah" because Fall is in the air. 
I guess the truth is, I'm just not really a summer kinda person.  I LOVE FALL, and dare I say WINTER as well?  Well it's true and I'm owning my truth dammit.
So as quick as the temperature outside fell, the oven kicked on, the stove was humming right along and I was filled with a rush of energy courtesy of the chill in the air.
I made a few things this weekend.....

Zucchini Oat Bread

Blueberry Danish with Fresh Michigan Blueberries

Juiced some tomatoes....I wonder how many gallons of juice have found their way through this mill?

I am, as we speak, simmering some turkey and brown rice meatballs in some green chili, which I also made this weekend....no picture.....sorry.
I also got a lot of other things accomplished around the joint.  I weeded, transplanted, mowed, washed the car....oh and this thing needed a bath too......

It's been a busy summer, a trip to St. Louis, work in Omaha, a long weekend in Denver over Labor Day weekend and work, which has been sooooooo busy.  I'm looking forward to Fall.  As you can see it makes me way more productive!!!!!  So Summer, I guess this is where we say our goodbyes.  It's been good having you...now get your shorts and t shirts out of here....I've got sweaters that need to be worn!

On a more serious note, I would love it if you would say a quick prayer for this amazing couple.  I had the privilege of working with Christina when I lived in Denver, and had met Brandon on a few occasions.  I have followed their journey through Christina's writings in their Caring Bridge Journal and have always found myself amazed at the strength and amazing faith they both have.  Their story is filled with lessons we can all learn about love, faith and caring.  I hope you take the time to watch the video and say a little prayer for the whole family.  God Bless.
