Today, on the first day of the beautiful month of September, I must say that I am a happy lady. The weather is gogeous and I feel better than I did all week, so I was able to go outside and do some gardening. Nothing pleases me more than this. The summer was way too humid and hot to let me do all the gardening that I wanted to do. The weather and not feeling so great were my two ennemies. So, I totally appreciate the fact that today on September 1st, I was able to finally do what I like to do. I hope that you were given the same opportunity. Enjoy the rest of the day,.

@andriaperry, I don't know if we deserve that great weather, but we sure appreciate it.

September will hopefully bring more suitable weather to garden in. Now please my friend, do me a huge favour and don't over do it. Please. I don't want to read that you are out of commission today. Pace yourself, its a long weekend and hopefully the weather will allow for a few more nice days for you to garden.

@Juliaacv , thanks for the reminder. I have a tendency to do too much on days that I feel better. I am pretty stiff now and I think that's it for today.

It rained until late afternoon and I was unable to do anything in the garden yesterday. Today I will go out and prune all the berry bushes, it's time to get rid of them before the cool days come in.

I didn't do any gardening, but I did go horseback riding early this morning and had two of my grandchildren over for breakfast after that!

@marlina - Every Sunday morning at 8:00 I go on a one hour trail ride. At 7:00 am, my husband plays 9 holes of golf with some friends. We both make it home by 9:10, which gives us plenty of time to go to a 10:00 church service and still have our grandchildren over for brunch or a late breakfast. Starting out early in the morning with a horseback ride starts my day off right!

Your garden flowers are beautiful! I am glad that it is cooling down for you. Today is Labor Day and it is overcast a bit and feels better outside. It is not cool but not scorching either.

I'm so glad that you are feeling better. It hasn't really been gardening weather here for most of the summer (too hot and dry), but these last couple of weeks have been good. My garden is showing signs of 'going over the top' though.

@sueznewz2 Bonjour Susan, @sueznewz2, Nice to hear from you again. Yes, lets' hope that soon we will only have vague memories of the "too hot summer" that was in 2018.

@DianneN , That is a huge plot. WE used to have half an acre with a lovely pool 20X40. But that was years ago, we sure had a great time living there.

@marlina Usually it's early morning when it's cooler. No gardening for me at night due to mosquitos and critters I may not see. I do weed whenever I take Doodles out for a walk. Our 2+ acres are almost week free. lol

September is one of my favourite month. The reason is because it's the birthday of my best friend. Unfortunately this month she has lost her mother. I feel sorry for her.
