While the gettin' is good

Mid September is when I feel like I resign to the idea that it is Fall...I want to start dressing for Fall and I expect rain and cooler temps.  Almost every year I am surprised how sunny and warm the whole month of Sept can be. Today was beautiful, sunny, and 80 degrees or so. I couldn"t bear the kids hanging out inside all day, so we went on an adventure. A picnic at one of our favorite parks was a good start, then spent some time in the dahlia garden there.  We also wandered around at the pagoda and Japanese gardens.  I felt so lucky to live in a town with this much beauty at arms- reach.
