The Sun Has Set

Summer is over & fall is officially here. I debated on having an end of summer or a beginning of fall dinner. Jeff had me confused into thinking I could have it today & do end of summer (some communication error.) So I decided it would be fun to enjoy a dinner out on the patio partaking in a yummy summer dinner, enjoying some of the summer things we won't be enjoying until Summer's return. So we did just that.... Kristen & her boys joined us. Dinner consisted of...
Chilled Strawberry Soup... or melted smoothie, since we just drank it.
Grilled marinated chicken skewers
Grilled onions
Brussel sprouts (not sure if those are summer, but it's summer of us to grill them in a foil pouch), Couscous (thank Kristen)
Peach Pie - this was a fresh peach pie, not a cooked pie, & it was DELICIOUS!! Thanks Mandi for the blog post on that one. You can find the recipe here.
I saw her post about the pie, it looked & sounded like the perfect ending to my summer meal.. and it was, but I will admit that the 2nd piece I had later this evening was MUCH better, because it was thoroughly chilled & set up.

Hannah was jumping on the trampoline & I told her to say goodbye to summer & hello to fall... she did just that, with the expected about of enthusiasm & drama that Hannah always delivers. I'm looking forward to a wonderful fall!
