I bought a canned pumpkin spice latte from a store the other day, AIWFG!
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

THE SPICE MUST FLOW, Vortex. Resistance is futile.
Eta I think Teppy likes actual pumpkin rather than pumpkin spice? It could be a "both are good" situation or I could be completely wrong, of course, but that's the bell ringing somewhere in my head

I was going to say "It's July and I am at the beach; that is too early for pumpkin spice,"** but honestly, if someone offered me a piece of pumpkin pie right now, I'd devour it.
**(I only like pumpkin *spice* when it's paired with actual pumpkin. The flavor of the spices on their own are whatever, they're fine, but I really don't walk around craving nutmeg.)

Mmm, pumpkin pie is so tasty. …pie in general is tasty. Mmm, pie.
That said I am not ready to admit it’s over halfway through summer, much less that spice time is nigh! No.

fyi, there's going to be a new edition of knitting with dog hair. The author?editor? is asking for people to send their dog hair (seemingly, it's warmer than wool)

I don't blame people for wanting fall to get here. I usually have a few pumpkin spice things a year...not something I get super-excited about, but autumn is. we've been dealing with this repair job for the individual water meters for about a month as of today. It would be better having people in here if we were getting a new kitchen or something instead of a water bill. basically, if you can avoid an HOA, you'll be happier. Haven't posted about that because arbitrary crap at someone else's request/demand is not all that new for me, but there are limits. mess, and, noise and holes in the ceiling. Also, mom and I already spend kind of a crazy-making amount of time together...waiting around for flaky workmen is not helping.

I'm cold for some reason. I hate it. I just want to wrap up in a blanket and take a nap. Which I can't do at work
Last night when we were in bed M started singing "I'm going to get a female President...I'm going to vote for a female President...I'm getting a female President". He is very excited about Harris .
I feel it's too early for pumpkin spice anything as well but it is what it is. Although school here starts Aug 8 so fall seems a lot closer (they get out at the end of May)

That is delightful
It's funny how August feels like the end of summer ( I guess because of all the back to school stuff in the air?) but is also the height of summer. It's when it's hottest (here at least) and there's still a lot of daylight. If we had something to mark that pagan holiday halfway between the solstice and the equinox it might help. We have something for the others like that. Groundhog Day, Halloween, May Day, but nothing in August.
