The Final Grill

This week, fall officially arrives.  Cool mornings and evenings seem here to stay.  So last night, we fired up the grill for what will likely be the last cookout of the season.  


There are still some tomatoes on the vines in the garden and I’ve got my eye on a cantaloupe that might could beat the frost.  There is plenty of basil yet to be snipped onto pasta and brushetta.  I’ll pick some more dahlia and zinnia bouquets before the blooms are gone.  But the days are markedly shorter and the sun sets awfully early.  The lawn has finally tired of its growing season and my most recent mow featured plenty of leaves being mulched up.  It’s time to face the fact that this summer is really over.
