Monday, September 1: Our visitors headed home and then Mr. Karen and I went down to enjoy a bit of the last day of the festival, which is much more quiet than the first few. They were out of most of the ciders, but one of the ones they still had was very nice.

 
Tuesday, September 2: Bundled up some of my to be read pile to keep them together. I bought these four for a quarter from a friends of the library book sale.

 
Wednesday, September 3: The mountains across the valley are completed obscured by wildfire smoke.

 
Thursday, September 4: Open toed red shoes and purple toe polish while the weather is still warm.

 
Friday, September 5: Went down to the city to have lunch with my friend who has the studio there I’ve been helping out with. Stopped to run an errand on the way; that store had fall flowers out front that caught my eye.

 
Saturday, September 6: Mr. Karen found a suggestion online to make gluten-free pancakes with overripe bananas and eggs and milk, no exact weights given. We tried it; I added too much milk and they were runny. They were edible, though, and unlike regular pancakes don’t require syrup.

 
Sunday, September 7: The Facebook algorithm doesn’t know me very well. I am not going to spend $4437 on what is apparently a miniature model of a lounge chair.
