1. Loving the look of that food!

   1. Many thanks!

2. Food looks delicious.

   1. Thanks, Susan!

3. Am I write in thinking that your Labour Day marks the start of autumn? Isn’t there some old line about not wearing white after that day? I seem to remember something from old books!

   1. Autumn doesn’t officially begin until September 22. At the same time, Labor Day signals the end of summer. And, yes, once upon a time you weren’t supposed to wear white after Labor Day. Thank goodness we’re more relaxed about colors nowadays.

4. Next year, I’m coming to your house for Labor Day. Lol. Looks like you had a wonderful day, Laurie. Here’s to the coming autumn.

   1. Wouldn’t that be grand if you could join us for Labor Day? Yes, welcome, Autumn.

      1. We miss New England. Even though it’s beautiful out here too, NE still feels like home.

5. These lovely scenes provide a sense of warmth and conviviality – I will welcome summer when it arrives our way.

   1. Summer is especially sweet in Maine as we have such cold, snowy winters.

6. …and a good time was had by all.

   1. Yes, yes!

7. Looks like you had a wonderful time Laurie! 💚

   1. We certainly did.

8. Wait – does grilled bread have CHEESE on it?

   1. It does indeed! 😉

      1. Oh, mama!

      2. 😉

9. It all looks perfect for a September evening. Something special about spending some time around the firepit.

   1. So very relaxing.

10. The cat has the right idea.

    1. She knows how to relax.

11. Summertime and the living is good!

    1. Yes, yes! Love being on that patio.

12. The rice dish and the pizza look delicious. You relaxed at home with good eats.

    1. We surely did!

13. Is that a pizza? Or what? It looks sooooo good! It’s fun to see your fire, too. It’s going to be a while before the fire pits start glowing here — enjoy your coolth!

    1. Sort of. Bread and cheese then dipped in sauce. Right now in Maine, the weather is utterly delightful.

14. I don’t want summer to go, even though this one was way too hot, and had way too many mosquitoes. And maybe too much rain too. Still, I don’t want it to go! Katie, on the other hand has had it with summer heat and is anxiously waiting for it too cool down significantly so we can go for a walk in the woods. Hopefully after a frost so the bugs are dead! She’s dreaming about that now.

    I love your firepit! I think that would be a nice thing to have. Right out front of my tent in the backyard, right? So I wouldn’t have to go anywhwere to camp at all!

    1. Shelties and heat do not go together. All that fur. And think of where their ancestors came from. 😉 Firepits are great. Now that the weather has cooled, we are having a fire every night. So relaxing.

15. I especially like the first capture

    1. Thanks, Derrick!

16. Wonderful photos and looks like a fabulous weekend!!

    1. A very good weekend.

17. Something kinda sad about summer ending … until I remember that Autumn is on the way, and I love Autumn! Cooler temps are great for walking a long-haired dog (and I’ve had more skeeter bites this summer than I can remember from past summers).

    1. Yes, a bittersweet time. I love autumn, too, and the cooler temps the season brings. Same for me with skeeter bites. Unbelievable. Thank goodness for Benadryl gel. Sure relieves the itches.

18. Nothing like a firepit, and the food looks yummy. I’m sure you’ve mentioned it before, but what is the name of your beautiful kitty?
    -Julie

    1. You bet! The kitty’s name is Miss Watson. She had a brother, Sherlock, who died this March. He was often a pain in the tail, but we miss him.

19. This post has made me very hungry! 😀

    1. It was a weekend of good food.

20. Dinner looks good, and of course, it is always good to see Miss Watson. 🙂

    1. Thanks, Lavinia!
