Labor Day 2023. It is starting off quite well with a nice mild temperature and just a hint of a breeze. I haven’t been out much this morning yet but I did go out and pick some tomatoes and water the garden and potted plants. Also filled the hummingbird feeder because I think they will be around for a couple of more weeks at least. Now it’s back to the sun porch and watch my guests at the Buffet. I haven’t had a lot of guests yet but they will be here shortly. It is about time for the Cardinal gang to show up. So far it has mostly been the finches. I noticed this morning that the Goldfinches are starting to lose their bright yellow color. I wonder. Why they happens. But it is a sure sign of fall and then a sure sign of spring when they revert again. 

Son-in-law Jim came over yesterday and installed the “fix” I had manufactured for my kitchen drawer —- and it works!!! I’m impressed with myself even if no one else is. Let’s just hope it holds up. Of course the way to help it is to not cram the drawer full of heavy stuff. Every household has a junk drawer, —— we have four just of kitchen stuff. Kate took at least half of the stuff out of that drawer and put it in a box. Of course the question now is —- what are we going to do with it because there is no way in the world she will get rid of any of it whether we ever use it or not. When we are both dead the kids will throw in in an auction bundle and maybe it will fetch a dollar if the bundle is big enough. 

We have been invited over to Jim and Julies for dinner this evening. He has already put the brisket on and will have it smoking all morning. Unfortunately, I think we will pass. Traffic is going to be fierce for the holiday travel and I don’t need to add to it. 

As predicted —- here come the buffet guests.So I’m going to put my recliner in a better position and sit and enjoy my guests. You hav yourself a wonderful day. Peace.
