End of summer

 Vacation was great. Myrtle Beach. Lots of rest and relaxation. Lots of Yuengling. Too much maybe. Also, lots of coffee. It was a great time hanging out with my mom and her fiance and my sister and her husband. Highlights (in no particular order): getting in the ocean, horseback riding, Ripley's Aquarium (touching stingrays), fish tacos at Gordon Biersch, seeing a shark and sea turtle off the pier, Margaritaville, Le Grande Cirque and an old guy with a fart machine (no joke), lots of sleeping, and Yuengling and a Fat Tire.

Unfortunately, the one kale seedling I had growing in our house perished in the sun without water. I need to search for some transplants. And our mint plant suffered some drought but looks like it will pull through.

Oh yeah, and today is the end of summer. I guess. The autumnal equinox. Today, day and night are of equal length, supposedly, meaning from here on until the winter solstice, the length of daylight will be shorter and shorter. Temperatures will be getting colder. What a bummer. But I guess the seasons are a good thing and I still like Ohio. And pumpkin beer. Might need to have another Pumpkin Party.

One goal for the new season is to go apple picking. Maybe. Not sure why. I've just never done it.
