1. It doesn’t seem like a week ago that I was sweating out my body weight at Vans Warped Tour here in St Louis.
2. The bridge is being painted, but the leaves are ignoring the signs.
3. In garden news, I harvested my first aubergine this week and it is sitting in the fridge waiting for me to figure out how to make it tasty. It is only a small one, so maybe I see ratatouille in our future. Do you like aubergines? What would you do with a small one?
4. In other garden news, the tomatoes are ripening nicely. This branch has a pretty ombre thing going on don’t you think?!

I can’t believe the kids go back to school next week! Yikes, better get the supplies all sorted. Erasers, tissues, notebooks which will get three pages written in all year, hand sanitizer and of course endless pencils to sharpen. This year we also need ear buds for more ‘electronic device’ based learning, how long until we don’t need pencils and paper anymore for class? I hope that never happens but I wonder.

Whatever you are up to this week, have a great one!
