Summer's Last Hurrah

Labor Day Weekend has now passed-- Summer's unofficial end. It has been a busy summer, and we end it in a pretty good place.

Todd has had a pretty good summer. The issues with his sinus appears to be well managed with Zyrtec and the Chinese herbs. That was certainly not the case last summer.  So as we cruise into the fall, all paws are crossed that he doesn't have any flare-ups as the blooms of summer fade and the dust mites that he's supposedly allergic to get stirred into the fall air. 

And since I mentioned summer blooms, we made a trip to Pennsylvania to see the sunflowers.  

This field in Chambersburg is absolutely huge, spanning a vast number of acres and filling the field for nearly as far as you can see. I’ve visited several sunflower fields and this is far and away the largest I’ve personally seen. Wow!! 

Most of the fields don't allow you to bring your dogs, but this one did, and so we took Milo with us. 

He didn't really care about the sunflowers, but he really loved all the smells and the people he got to meet.

It was a really hot morning, but despite the sweltering heat, there is no place like a field of sunflowers.
