And It's September

And it's September and it's half over, just like that. I love September! Especially after a dry, smokey, hot August. Meh. Let's get caught up.

Becky came to town so the Pie Pals got together for pie and laughs.

Jodi hosted and Becky helped with the pie baking which included picking the black berries. I never knew a Southern gal would care so much about harvesting black berries by the side of the road. Now I know. They were delicious berries.

I didn't have my first day of school until the 14th.  Last year as a sub it was the 15th so now I am going to assume the first two weeks of September are a good time to vacation.  Or to clean my house, do yard work, change out our closet for fall, do the big Costco shop or just flake out and then panic when I get busy.

The week after Labor Day is the Mt. Baker Vintage Trailer Rally in Lynden.  Since Jeremy and Rene' now run that rally they come on Monday and stay with us.  A good time was had by all.  I couldn't get a picture of all five trailers in our drive way but it did happen and they did fit.

 On Tuesday, Hubby and I set up Annie at the fairgrounds so we could come and go all week.  Our friends all come to town so we had field trips to Edaleen Dairy and Overflow Taphouse and to our house.

There were 213 trailers this year, including a modified vintage horse trailer.

They did beautiful work and I loved it.

I didn't take many photo walks so I don't have too many trailer pics.  I generally ride my bike at this rally. I love this little green trailer from Poland.

Liz brought The Barclay to the rally and she'd gone from beachy to campy theme.  I love that she changed her decor on Wednesday and arrived on Thursday.

The trailer with pink and wallpaper is darling.

Nancy takes her garden with her wherever she goes.

Good times with our tribe!  We always dress up for Open House on Saturday.

My friend Marzi drove from Tennessee this year.  She says she is not doing it next year but I think she'll get lonely for me and change her mind. I bought her a special glass for her Bees' Knees cocktail.

Oh Liz!  I am so happy you could join us this year.  We had too much fun and we won't wait a year to see you again.  Dinner soon?

Steve had fun with his Honda 90 and antlers. We had a Honda 90 growing up and I went right down memory lane thinking of my Dad's Honda at hunting camp.

We enjoyed a luau hosted by Jeremy and Rene'.  It was the largest potluck ever. The photo booth, the music and the fashions were fantastic.

There were a lot of Sisters on the Fly at the rally so we called them over for a group photo.

Of course, we are having more fun than anyone.

After unpacking and cleaning Annie, I got her ready for some fall camping.  Flannel sheets and wool blankets, candy corn in a jar, some pumpkins and I'm ready to go.  Hubby and I like to go to Silver Lake in the fall for some hiking and canoeing and relaxing by the fire.

I am loving the rain, doing some fall deep cleaning and settling in for one of our favorite seasons.

Yay for autumn!
