Lovely days! You welcome autumn and we welcome spring.

Nikki said...

Actually, I think it might just be the Southern Hemisphere that do the season change on the 1st of the month rather than the equinox? So you're still in summer eh?

Stephanie said...

Nikki- Yup- September 21 is our usual first day of the Season change... when the sun passes over to the other side of the equator.
This year it's the 22nd that it happens.
I'll be squeaking a bit more through, if I can. :)

I loved that part of Little House in the Big Woods. That stuffed animal sure looks cute hanging up to dry! What is that black gooey stuff?

Wendy Hawksley said...

Marshmallows and toothpicks and more, oh my! :-D

I noticed the first picture especially, because we read "The Best Nest" recently. What a funny book.

Wow... August's last day. Oh, wait. It's already September now!

Stephanie said...

Jane - it's slime that we usually tint black to make it look like tar, for Tar Pits. :)

Sherry said...

Aaahhh...to be one of your kids. :)
I honestly don't remember one single day of my childhood that was anywhere near as awesome as this!

Sarah said...

Oh, I *love* that story in LHitBW. So funny.

What happened to the branch?

Stephanie said...

It just fell. I was out on the patio, and heard a crash.
??? Not even much wind.
Trimming itself, I spose.

Darcel said...

What a lovely day. I love all of the pictures.

That black goop looks disgusting. Just what my kids would love. How did you get it that color?

Stephanie said...

Inoureyes: black food coloring... from the cake making section at Michael's.
