Labor Day is a celebration that pays tribute to the achievements and contributions of workers like you and me. Established in the latter part of the 19th century by the labor movement it was later deemed a federal holiday in 1984. It is traditionally observed on the first Monday in September.
Labor Day is the last long holiday weekend before it gets cold and having a BBQ is just an American tradition. So, now you know why we go camping and BBQ on the first Monday in September.
It also signifies for us a day when all the tourist go home and the hunters start showing up. Kind of a mixed bag. We start seeing a change in the seasons too. It was over 80 degrees yesterday. It is very rare to be so hot this time of the year. This morning we had our first frost of the season and thin ice on the chicken water. That's a big temperature swing. I hear the hum of generators in the distance from cold campers running their heaters to warm up.
Number One and I hope you have a blessed Labor Day. Be safe out there...
Mrs. Smith
