Not Forgotten...Just Busy!

Oh my goodness!  Seriously, where has the time gone?  I thought school would start and things would finally slow down again once the kids went back, yet I'm still just as busy as ever!  I have loads of things to blog about and hardly any time to blog them!  Time and things are just slipping away from me!  I hope to be back in top blogging form here shortly.  But I hope all my stateside friends had a fabulous holiday weekend! 

We spent the weekend outside cleaning up the yard and patio.  Things had gotten a little neglected out there this summer.

So we trimmed

and raked

and weeded . . .

We even started to train 

a few of the grapevines to 

grow over to the pergolas finally!

We found a whole bunch of grapes growing underneath all the vines!  These are a Suffolk Red Seedless table grape.  We had our first harvest off them last year and oh my goodness!  They were sooo  yummy!  I can't wait until these finish ripening in a few more weeks!!!

Now that things are back in place and cleaned up a bit, I realized how cozy this corner of my yard is beginning to feel!  All shady and enclosed!  I think it is now my very most favorite part of my yard!  And dining out there as the weather begins to cool off will be a pleasure!

What did you do over the holiday weekend?

How are you kicking off the Autumn season?
