First Saturday in September

Ten of the fourteen ladies on this morning's walk
It's already Labor Day weekend here in the United States, which signals the unofficial end of summer, although we have three more weeks before we reach the autumnal equinox (on September 22, to be exact, at 6:54pm PDT). We ladies were chilly when we started out, but before long jackets were coming off and we enjoyed sunlight peeking through the clouds.

The changes in season are evident everywhere, from the beginning of the falling leaves to the abundant harvest of apples, pears, and even some berries. In the High Country, the wild blueberries are all coming ripe and added a great deal of joy to our excursion last Thursday. I forgot to mention them.

This afternoon I'm heading to the theater to join my friend Judy to see Crazy Rich Asians. I've heard nothing but good things about it from friends who have already seen it. It's billed as a romantic comedy and should be entertaining. It's a great Saturday already, the beginning of a three-day-long weekend!

  1. The seasons don't pay a lot of attention to the dates we try and limit them to do they?
    Enjoy your time at the theatre. And your weekend.

  6. We saw the movie. It was entertaining, but of no lasting value. I'll be interested to see what you think.
    While you were at the movies, we enjoyed perfect weather for a Sounders match, and we won again!

  7. What a beautiful little bridge! This entire year is flying by. The movie looks like light fare and quite popular, I have heard also. Be interested to hear what you think of it. Enjoy the long weekend. :)

  8. We're going to see Crazy Rich Asians, too ... only b/c we've heard so much about it.

  9. Sounds like a lovely time of year in the Pacific Northwest. Here in Hawaii, we don't have 4 seasons and it is usually warm all year long.

  10. I didn't realize that the equinox had an exact time to appear down to the minute. Would be easy to miss if you aren't paying attention:)
    Interested to hear your take on the movie. I have heard raves and ho hums about the movie.

  11. I love comedy!

    Wild bluberries? What a treat...alas, it's still summery here.

  12. I'm wondering if this is the low growing blueberries or the ones in tall bushes like in Michigan. I had no idea that blueberries could also grow low to the ground. How wonderful that you could eat them during a hike.
