september is going to be a MEAN old month to me. 
this year is whizzing by entirely too fast. i can’t believe it’s time to pickle my cucumbers already and think about tomato sauce. crazy! i feel like i can’t grow gourds to save my life. i planted tons of butternut squash and haven’t seen anything yet 🙁 that was the ONLY gourd i cared about! meanwhile, my garden neighbor has pumpkins out the wazoo. ugh.
i am so excited for this weekend. why? because i am doing NOTHING. it will be glorious. i will go to the farmers’ market in winona, do some pickling, do yoga with my mom, maybe go swimming. it’ll be grand.
