Hello!
 So,  September 1st crept in and its almost just another day in my mind in dealing with WANTS/NEEDS! This weekend was the same HOT weather but muggier this year, than in the past.
 Yesterday, I noticed in the stores,  signs of FALL,  that could be on our doorsteps NOW.
WELL,  this is ARIZONA SISTER and we won't feel signs of AUTUMN until after, October ends.
My mind has its WANTS/NEEDS........
WAITING is not in my game plan and I will just welcome in the IDEA that we are FALLIN into AUTUMN!
PUMPKIN/OWL are stopping in to stay and wait it out with me through this Balmy September!
