I'm wearing white after Labor Day!!

Yes and don't try and stop me!
Ugh, I haven't been feeling well and life has just been too boring. Sometimes it's hard to work up the energy to be interesting or interested , you know?
We just lazed around the long weekend, mostly on the porch. The weather has been amazingly gorgeous, in the low high 70's. My plants are doing well and the trellis full of hot-pink Mandevilla is blooming like crazy. A neighbor stopped to compliment me and said: your flowers are beautiful, they look so real! Ha, nature imitating art? If only I could download the pictures to my laptop!
So, Stinky BBQ'd, ( leftover BBQ'd onions, corn and zucchini with pasta for dinner tonight) we watched DVDs: 4 episodes of Deep Space 9, The Merchant of Venice****and Lemony Snicket*** and ate cake. (strawberry short)
We had baseball tickets Sun night but I wasn't up to it.
Why does everyone treat Labor day as the end of summer? There's 2 1/2 weeks left!
I'm trying to maintain a mellow state and not cross the dreaded line into Grumpyville.
Happily, we are planning a short trip elsewhere. For the High Holy Days we are going to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland Ohio, where else?
Holy is as holy does. We are driving the scenic route, across mostly Pennsylvania which should be green, lush and rolling. I'll see Lake Erie again. I've never been to Ohio-
it's the Midwest! My only prior exposure was Minnesota in winter and that was great. I'm psyched.
