Well, summer is over and autumn is settling in. We had a fair bit of rain and gusts of wind yesterday. Connie and I managed to take a walk downtown while the sky was clear(ish) and stopped at the library, Danger Room Comics, and Batdorf & Bronson for coffee. We cooked dinner together last night, because I've been testing out a subscription to Blue Apron. Last night was Gnocchi with zucchini and peppers. It was delicious. So far, we've enjoyed every one of the meals we've cooked.
Last Thursday (9/21) was her birthday and I took a couple of days off work to hang out. On Thu we went out to breakfast at the Oly Rockfish Grill and then a couple hours wandering around downtown. Fri we went to the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge (officially the Billy Frank Jr. National Wildlife Refuge). It was a beautiful day for that and I took a few photos (I've added some to this post, I don't know why some of them load sideways). I spent the rest of the weekend doing yardwork; pulling ivy, blackberries, trimming the butterfly bush, planting bulbs, and putting down some bark.
Today is the first day of October. Where did the year go? I have no idea. I'm planning a trip to Costco for some household provisions and to pick up some stuff to deliver to Thess and Doug later this month. If the weather clears up a little bit today, I'd like to get out and pull some more ivy, but we'll see how that works out.
That's all for now!
