When my children were young Labor Day weekend was always the weekend we prepared the yard and gardens for winter; pulling weeds, spreading my secret mixture of peat moss, Johnny Jump-up seeds and slug bait. They would moan and groan and whine "WHY do WE have to do this????" To which I'd say "Do you know what LABOR means?"

| My little bungalow. Truth be told, I miss my garden. Spent countless hours pulling weeds. It's good to get on your knees from time-to-time. |
Of Course, the unofficial end of summer and a day to work your kids was not the original intent of Labor Day.

I considered a short Labor Day get-away, but it's been a busy time at work and I decided it was too much preparation and work to leave town, and where would I go, anyway? Not only that, I do know what LABOR means.
Just look at this L-O-N-G list of things to do.
Despite the record-breaking heat (and fires filling the air with smoke!) I managed to cross off quite a number of items from my list...spent some time in the studio ... made a trip to the fabric store ... even spent some time with The Babes.
All-in-all a nice weekend. I am refreshed and ready to tackle the last quarter of this crazy year.
