Week 36

Welcome back and happy Tuesday!  Last week was a short work week but it seemed really long.  This week is super busy at work for me so maybe it will go by super fast.  The weather has been nice.  A bit warm still but there is a feel of the start of fall especially with football games going on and leaves dropping here and there.  I'm so ready for that.

Here are last week's pictures which actually still have a very summer-like vibe to them with a small hint of fall mixed in:

Day 246- Monday, 9/3/18

Happy Labor Day!  Gotta love 3-day weekends and being able to grill and enjoy a good meal with the family.  We had our bigger feast yesterday and opted for burgers and dogs today which did not disappoint.

Day 247- Tuesday, 9/4/18

 Rusty was at the top of the stairs when I got home from work, basking in the sunlight, and hanging with his friends Mr. Frog and Red Bird.  I'm not sure what happened to his Fish.  Maybe it doesn't play well with others?

Day 248- Wednesday, 9/5/18

 Last week I was processing some water samples with capsule filtration and a magnetic separation technique.  This week I'm using membrane filtration to look for another organism that might be in those samples.  Much more of this to come which also means many hours on the microscope.

Day 249- Thursday, 9/6/18

 Time for some high school football.  I''m working the Booster's snack bar during the freshman game on this smokey night.  At least it made for a pretty sunset as I wrapped up my shift.

Day 250- Friday, 9//7/18

 Sometimes you just have to stop and smell the roses  The cooler temps are allowing my yard to come alive again with one last bloom before fall really sets in.

Day 251- Saturday, 9/8/18

Everyone was home for dinner which is rare so we made the most of it.  John fried up some chicken tenders for us to grub on, we had Ben and Jerry's pints for dessert and then finished off the day with a night swim.  Boy, I really wish Brandon would play polo.  I missing being a polo mom so much and he has great command of the ball.  Maybe next year.

Day 252- Sunday, 9/9/18

It's a lazy Sunday as it should be.  John and Bella are sacked out after watching some football and later I chilled by the pool with a refreshing glass of wine while enjoying the delta breeze during our golden hour--and so ends the weekend.

That's it!  See you next week which will be our last full week with Tyler before he heads back to his home away from home.
