September is here, the days are getting shorter and the temperature is getting cooler. Hunting season has begun for bear. Deer hunting for members of the reservation and some wild ricing harvesting in the Narrows. The large beds of rice in Steamboat Bay are not open yet. We are having Labor Day Weekend so plenty of extra people are enjoying the long weekend at the cabin. We had visitors, our son and grandson are visiting from the cities. Football season will be upon us soon. We had our draft for our Fantasy Football.
Had a couple of thunderstorms this past week with over an inch of rain. Had some strong winds associated with the rain storm the night of Sept 1st that came out of the east. A number of property owners facing to the east had damage to their docks and boat lifts. One person had some damage to their fishing boat. We had one tree dowm on Oak Point Estates, but nothing serious.
Garden
Some of the leaves of the maples are starting to change their coloration. Pretty soon we will have lovely reds, yellows and orange leaves that make our falls so beautiful. It will be 4 to 6 weeks before any serious leaf raking has to take place. With the rains still coming down we will have to keep mowing the green grass at least once per-week.

GardenThe end of the growing season is coming on for the garden. Had our first meal of beets last evening. Might get a few more green beans, a few summer squash and cucumbers yet, but with the cooling weather and shorter days the prime growing season is behind us. I will have to dig potatoes and harvest the winter squash soon.

The Christenson new house on Oak Point Estates is making some serious progress. I know that they want to be able to work inside this coming winter.
