Where did summer go?

It was a great summer and still supposed to be very warm over the next few days so I guess it is still summer but it seems like things change once it is September. Spent most of the weekend canning. Did peaches, plums, crabapples and there are more to do. Started a black and white strip twist I want to have completed as a sample for my fall retreat - got a bunch of strips sewn together so they are ready to cut into blocks. It is such a fun pattern. Will post pictures when I get the top done. Meanwhile back to work at the office all day today, tomorrow and prob most of Weds so not much sewing for a few days.

Victoria(DD) starts working on her BSC in phytotherapy tomorrow. It is a four year program and she is very excited.
