Feels like Fall

The sun is shining, but there is a breeze coming across the lake, and I had the window open all night so it feels like Fall to me. I know I have a few more weeks till it is officially here, but the kids have started practice at school for Fall sports and the Fair starts next week and that kinda all hails the end of summer.
The birds and the chipmunks are busy eating, and I'm told my brother is supposed to be across the lake fishing....I only see one boat on the whole lake....so maybe that is him. That big red bellied woodpecker has been back...infact he's at the suet right now....he also eats the grape jelly....strange as it may seem....oh my gosh there is a pair of them out there. The female isn't as pretty, but they are friendly with each other so must be mates....I'll have to look them up in one of my bird books.
Got an email from Sandi last night, they were only as far as IL and were spending the night. The funeral will be on Friday at noon at the new Catholic church in St. Michael. Sandi's brother lives there, so that is why they are having it there. They will have reviewal 1 hour prior to the service, and a lunch after....no graveside service. I was hoping that they would need some of my beds, but Sandi says her brother has enough room for them. It will be a quick (in time they are here) trip and they will probably head back home on Sunday. Sounds pretty rushed....with 3 long days drive back and forth. But that is what it took when I drove down last winter.
I got my infusion yesterday, after stopping at Jan's for a jar of coconut butter and to have some rubbed on my back. Didn't get home till about 2:30, and then packed and headed for the cabin....getting here about 5 p.m. I had to stop and pick up my pictures I had developed from Blair's wedding on my way too! I made dinner, did some emailing and then settled in to watch the Twins game. Fun game as we won. Thome hit number 601 last night....wow, he's on a roll this week. Bill and his buddies were in Cleveland the night he hit 599 and 600...how lucky is that?!!!
I slathered myself in oil while watching the game, seems like a constant battle.
Today I hope to see Phil, or it'll be a quiet day...don't have any plans....maybe work on that scrapbook that I ran out of pages for....I can still do my part and then glue them in when I get the backing pages....or start another and glue them in there if I can't get the pages. So that's all folks, love and prayers, m
