Farewell, Summer

Here in Nashvegas, we are slowly, but surely, creeping into fall...the weather is cooling off (at least for now), the leaves are just beginning to change color, and college football season has begun!  But before we get too deep into September, a quick look back at how we spent the last few glorious weeks of summer....

 We joined the Maryland Farms YMCA for the summer, which might just be the best money we've spent in the past year.  Evelyn LOVED IT.  She loved crawling around in the spray, she loved splashing and plunging her face under water, and she especially loved patting the giant crab (as seen in the first picture above).  YMCA pool, farewell for now; we will certainly miss you until next summer!

We ate lots of yummy meals with fresh produce from our fabulous CSA; isn't summer food the best?  Evelyn has really gotten into both corn cobs and apple cores lately (which is a combination reminiscent of meals enjoyed by a Cummings dog of my youth, a crazy black lab named Mallie).

When we had some cooler days in late August, Ev and I headed outside to blow bubbles and have afternoon cocktails and snacks while waiting for Daddy to come home from work.  Yes, we are sitting outside our garage on the driveway with our bubbles, Puffs, and drinks.  The Berrys are classy people, folks:)
