When I was a kid, Sunday mornings were made for sleeping in. Rolling out of bed a little later and stumbling up into the kitchen to the warm and inviting smell of pancakes, or waffles, or fritters.

Summer came a little late this year or not at all according to some people. In fact, with the cool evenings and dark morning, it feels as if we are slipping directly into fall.

Just a quick note here while I drag myself up from the sea of boxes, bags and miscellaneous bric-a-brac….ooof, moving is such an ordeal. The only thing getting me through this move is this amazing house. 1/3 of an acre covered in fruit trees, strawberries, blueberries, an empty raised bed garden just waiting to be
