I always have photos that never make the "blog story". September had lots of those extra photos taken while we made the most of the last days of summer.
So here are the favorite edits for September... in random order :)
Surprise flowers from a BFF who lives thirty miles away in SLC... I don't get to see her nearly enough.
The flowers were sitting on the kitchen island when I got home one night... along with my mail... Federal Jury Duty summons.
Talk about the good and the bad.
Friday after school neighborhood water/hammock fight.
No one cried and everyone had fun. Yay for a win win.
And yay for the September fashion parade that heads out the door for school every day.
It's fun to see what she puts together everyday... how ridiculously cute is that owl backpack and that wild lunch bag! (They make me almost want to go to school again.)
(Tilly's backpack Old Navy lunch bag.)
The neighbors roses across the street, second blooming in cooler weather.
Someone's homemade garden stepping stone I spotted on a walk... love the quote.
An afternoon feeding the ducks at a park.
And a weekend afternoon at Hogle Zoo. The zoo has been renovated over the last few years and I like it so much more now... the animals seem happier too. Tibetan prayer flags on the top of the tiger hill... so pretty blowing in the breeze.
Monkey exhibit...
And my new crush I found at the zoo....
Oh man, I fell hard for this guy :)
We watched him for twenty minutes... we were totally captivated by his joyful backstroke. He would dive under the water, stand up at the step/glass right in front of us, launch himself backward, while pushing off with his huge legs (and a huge splash), and then he would gracefully float backward for about thirty feet. He repeated his diving show for us for about twenty times- doing exactly the same thing every time.
Except for our dogs, I've never felt so connected to another animal.
He loved looking at his audience...
and I swear he was smiling... look at that face!!
I want to go back one afternoon just to watch him again.

It's gorgeous in Utah today... low '80s and deep blue skies. I hope it lasts a little while longer.
(Can you believe it's October 1st already?!)
Did you do anything outdoorsy and memorable in September?
How's your Monday going?
Mine's good... the usual... cleaning, washing, baking, making.
XOK

The euro crisis is not something what is caused by some countries or people.
It's an general issue about how money is working.

Alternatives:
Maybe youtube heard or readed already about Bitcoins?

Bitcoins are limited and every day more people know about them, the value is raising since months and will raise much more.
All problems in the world where caused because of the money system.
Sorry for spamming but this is important.
If you like it anyway you could also think about donating some Bitcoins.
